71,830 Pointskart.drive(2) has to be only inside the try clause, not repeated above it.
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
GoKart kart = new GoKart("yellow");
if (kart.isBatteryEmpty()) {
System.out.println("The battery is empty");
}
try {
kart.drive(2);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
System.out.printf("IllegalArgumentException: %s", iae);
}
}
}

71,830 PointsYes, the parameter for drive() must be positive. But your code had two other problems: (1) you put the try...catch outside the main() method, and (2) you called drive(2) outside a try...catch
