the c++ code is having errors

[E Dawg]

class Robot: public Robot isn't a line of code I see when I create a new C++ project, only class Robot: public SampleRobot. I think that might be your problem. Can you copy and paste all of your code so that we can take a look at it, please?

Ahhh... It looks to me like you have two Robot objects in the same project. The program should only have one Robot object. Try removing all of the code related to class Robot: public SampleRobot. In other words, delete all code above

/**
* Runs during test mode
*/

and see what happens.

wow... I think when I first had errors I pasted the first code into the same code instead of selecting it all... I thought it was longer then it should be... thanks E DAWG

Happy to help anytime.
