void autonomous() {
intake.spin(forward, 200, rpm);
this is the code we have but it wont work for some reason 
-
You need to be using āintake.spinForā instead of āintake.spinā
-
You need to change ārpmā with ādegreesā

we tried thisā¦
void autonomous() {
intake.spinFor(forward, 200, degrees);
and there were no errors but still the robot didnāt move
we tried this
intake.spin(forward, 12.0, volt)
and the motor twitched a little bit, thatās what we have so far
Could we see the entire code, not just the autonomous? Most likely the problem is somewhere else.
This is c++ correct?
sure, this is our main.cpp file

Sorry this reply is from a different account, iām one of the post creatorās teammates
yes, we are using C++ with the vex extension on vs code
You may need to include something else and possibly check if the command is right.
Take this with a grain of salt as i am not familiar with the vex C++ extension
