I am really stuck

Hi there! Well the basis for this is that you need to wrap what you're going to try to do in a try catch block. We need to try the code and then if it fails catch the exception. So when the battery is empty but we try to drive the cart 2 more laps... there can and should be a problem. Here's how I did it:

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        GoKart kart = new GoKart("yellow");
        try {   //start the try here
          if (kart.isBatteryEmpty()) {
            System.out.println("The battery is empty");
          }
          kart.drive(2);  //try and drive the kart  this will create a problem
        }
        catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {  //catch the Exception and handle it
          System.out.println(iae);
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps!

edited for additional note

The reason this doesn't necessarily print out the battery is empty message. Imagine that the battery isn't empty, but we only have enough for one lap left. Then we have a problem. That's what we're looking for here

Wow, thanks. I'll give it a shot.
