Cannot get Test_Robot to upload to my Nano board - I have the SLOTH Robot Kit

My son and I were so excited to work together on the SLOTH robot kit. That was several hours ago. Now, he has completely disengaged as I repeatedly try to upload the robot_test code without success. He is reading in the other room now, having completely given up. We followed the instructions exactly and retraced our steps to make sure that we did everything right. I don't know what to do next. Any recommendations? The error code is provided below :frowning:

avrdude done. Thank you.

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

Please post a link to the website for the Sloth Robot kit.

Your error message suggests that the Arduino IDE cannot make contact with the arduino board. Are you sure you have selected the correct COM port?
