For the 1st part of this Code Challenge, you only need to add one line to the given code template. public static final int MAX_BATTERY = 8;, that's it. Which you totally got this line correct, however, your code also went the extra miles and modified couple of the original methods, that's what is causing your code to fail, because the grader is expecting those original codes be intact.

public class GoKart {
  private String mColor;
  public static final int MAX_BATTERY = 8; // only add this one line

  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  } 
}

Hope it helps.
