If there are any errors in your code that causes the challenge checker to be unable to run your code you will always get an error that task 1 no longer passes, even if the code causing an error was not introduced in task 1. It is a confusing error message but it is just how the challenge checker works.

The problem with your code is that you have misspelled the name of the barCount variable as barcount, and you forgot to include a ; (semicolon) at the end of the code you added to the drive method.

If you fix those two errors your code will pass.
