Pictures of code aren’t helpful.

Please post the code itself.

Remember to format it with the magic code formatting button, which looks like this: \</\>

It seems like the top and the bottom of the code you pasted is missing, so it cannot be run.

> locX cannot be resolved to a variable

…and part of robot is missing – maybe just a }, or maybe more.
