Why won't this code spin the left motor forward?

• There is no left motor

• It needs to be in camel case

• There needs to be a wait command

• This code will work perfectly

Answer explanation

Remember, the computer executes each line of code in order. It goes really fast. If you don't slow it down with a "wait" command, sometimes it won't do anything.

Why won't this code work properly?

• the wait is too long

• the motors are wrong

• You need a repeat loop

• You need a forever loop

After you write your code and connect to your brain, what do you have to do before you can run your code.

• Make it camel case

• Download the code

• Add a device

• Upload the code
