I am not sure what the code should be. Please help!

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_ENERGY_BARS = 8;
  private String mColor;
  private int mBarsCount;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
    mBarsCount = 0;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }

  public void charge() {
    mBarsCount = MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
  }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
    return mBarsCount == 0;
  }

  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    boolean isFullyCharge = false;
    if (!mBarsCount()) {
      mBarsCount--;
      mBarsCount = true;
    }


  }

I am can't say to be sure, but it looks as though you have edited the isFullyCharged() method. You actually want to edit the charge() method and utilize the isFullyCharged() method in your while statement by saying :

while (!isFullyCharged()) {

}

I don't want to give you any more hints than that so you can still work through the solution, but you will need an if statement inside of your loop.
