Once a motor has been given a custom name, what is required regarding its usage in programming?

When a motor in VEX robotics is assigned a custom name, it becomes an identifier that is crucial for the motor's function within the programming context. By giving a motor a custom name, you create a specific reference point that allows the programmer to control that motor based on its unique identifier throughout the project. Each instance where the motor is called upon in the programming should utilize the custom name to ensure the code interacts with the correct component. This approach streamlines programming, enabling better organization and making it easier to manage multiple motors or sensors in a project.

In contrast, if the motor's custom name is not consistently used, code snippets could lead to errors or unintended behaviors due to referencing the wrong motor or component. Additionally, maintaining a consistent naming convention is essential for debugging and collaboration within programming teams.
