Whenever I download and run the program, I get this error message:
“Traceback (most recent call last):
File “userpy”, line 56
SyntaxError: invalid syntax”

I don’t understand why, that line is typed exactly how it should be. Can anyone help me?

BTW line 56 is the last line of the set velocity block in move left/right

You are mixing C and Python amongst other things
for example, || should be or

google Python logical operators

also, check capitalization on buttons (ie. do not capitalize)
and some code can be simplified, example.
this

        FrontLeft.set_velocity(controller_1.axis3.position(), PERCENT)
        FrontLeft.spin(FORWARD)

can be replace by one line

        FrontLeft.spin(FORWARD, controller_1.axis3.position(), PERCENT)

This is invalid, it’s C again (well, a mixture)

wait(20, msec); #Sleep the task for a short amount of time to
                #prevent wasted resources.
}

I found out that I was accidentally mixing C and python. Does putting the velocity percentage in the spin function still work? I though they removed the ability to add that argument, which is why I did set velocity.
