The help file should explain when you can use the MTR_A constant versus when you
can use the OUT_A constant. It will tell you that MTR can be used with the
MotorPowerXXX and SetMotorPowerXXX functions. Use the help system Find feature
and it will list the following functions:
MotorBrakePower, MotorPower128, MotorPower8, MotorPowerSigned,
SetMotorBrakePower, SetMotorPower128, SetMotorPower8, and SetMotorPowerSigned.
You can look at the NQC API via nqc -api and see that MTR_A = 0 and OUT_A = 1
#define MTR_A 0
#define MTR_B 1
#define MTR_C 2
#define MTR_D 3
#define MTR_E 4
#define MTR_F 5
#define OUT_A 0x01
#define OUT_B 0x02
#define OUT_C 0x04
Given that fact, technically, you could use MTR_B as a substitute for OUT_A,
MTR_C as a substitute for OUT_B, and MTR_E as a substitute for OUT_C. I would
HIGHLY recommend that you NOT do that.
