It says Task 1 isn't working anymore, but it keeps letting me pass through once I go back and check my work.

It says task 1 isn't working anymore but I go back and it works just fine. I am confused on how to fix this.

GoKart.java 
class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;]
    barCount = 0;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }
  public void charge(){
    barCount = MAX_BARS; 
  }
}

As Simon pointed out, you have a ] at the end of the first line of the constructor that shouldn't be there.

It's right here:

public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;]  <----
    barCount = 0;
}

Good luck!
