Detailed Description

The motor controlling the velocity of the wheels of the e-puck.

The motor controlling the velocity of the wheels of the e-puck. This motor applies noise if requested.

This class does not add any other parameter to those defined by the parent class (EpuckMotor)

The resources required by this Motor are the same as those of the parent class
