I’m not very sure what an initializer is… When finishing my program, I had int main () { But it said there could not be a bracket there. I got rid of it and it said I had to add a semicolon so then I had this: int main (); But then it said that the parentheses had to be replaced by an initialize…

Could you share your code? Remember to wrap it in [code]...[/code] tags

When defining a function you need that bracket, the error is somewhere else. There’s likely something in the loop messing up the definition (ie missing an end bracket). The second statement, int main (); is typically used for functions defined in another file but is used in this one.

Or it could be something right before the main function, like missing semicolon or bracket. @josiesteen , please, include the full code of your program inside [code]...[/code] tags, so we could see it and give you useful help.

@Doctortictac @Deicer Here is my code: #include "vex.h" using namespace vex; // A global instance of competition competition Competition; // define your global instances of motors and other devices here /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ /* …

Your if statements don’t need semicolons (;) In fact no loop needs semicolons. Also please note that you are telling your drivetrain to constantly move forward. Finally if none of the buttons for a motor are being pressed, you probably want them to stop. Just add another if for if none of them a…

For velocity every motor is preset to (I think) 40% but it can be changed with motor.velocity, so you don’t necessarily need to list power jn each spin statement

This is a very good observation that you could independently set motor velocity without starting the motor. I didn’t know it was preset to 40%. I was trying to show that motor stop command was missing and that you don’t have to use same motor power when arm goes up and down. Gravity assists motor g…

There are several issues that appear in your code.
First one is semicolon after main, it should be int main() {
The second is you may need to tell motors desired spin velocity.
Third, you need to tell motors to stop when no buttons is pressed.

   else if( Controller1.ButtonL1.pressing() )
   {
      Arm.spin(forward, 70, pct); // at 70%
   }
   else if( Controller1.ButtonL2.pressing() )
   {
      Arm.spin(reverse, 50, pct); // at 50%
   }
   else 
   {
      Arm.stop(hold); // hold arm in place
   }
