We are using Chromebooks and the online VEX V5 coding. We have updated the firmware on the brain. When we use autonomous projects the brain executes the first line of code and then spins in 360s continuously. We have rebooted everything, reinstalled the firmware, but nothing has fixed it. Any solutions?
You would need to show the robot configuration, the code and pictures of the drivetrain to get any useful feedback, however, this is usually related to incorrect drivetrain setup, things like left and right motors swapped, or additional gears included that needs a change in configuration.

Thanks. We did double check cables, but will do it again. Also, no gears or modifications to original cowboy design.
Without more detailed info it’s impossible to help.
pictures, code etc.

Can you share an image of your code?
Do you use an inertial sensor on your robot? Whenever we have had this happen it was because of our inertial sensor. Our fix was to simply replace the sensor and it worked; however, this may not be the problem for you and replacement of the sensor probably isn’t the best fix but it works for us.
I found the problem. Some of the teams selected the Clawbot 2 motor with inertial sensor from the Project Examples. Once I turned off the Inertial Sensor (which wasn’t installed) the problem was resolved.
