Hi Axon -

  1. There is no need for the variable relocation that you created
  2. There is no need for the override initializer, you are overriding the method
  3. The Cases need to be uppercase and no need for relocation
class Robot: Machine {

   override func move(_ direction: String) {

        switch direction {
        case "Up": location.y += 1
        case "Down": location.y -= 1
        case "Right": location.x += 1
        case "Left": location.x -= 1
        default: break
        }

    }

}
