Controlling Chrome via VBA with SeleniumBasic

Question

I have installed SeleniumBasic, and have updated the chromedriver file to the latest version. I have gone into tools> References and activated Selenium Library Type.

At this point, all I am trying to do is get VBA to open a Chrome browser to google as a starting point. Here is the super complicated macro im trying to fire off:

Sub ChromeWebdriver()
  Dim bot As New Selenium.ChromeDriver
  bot.Start "chrome", "http://www.google.com"
End Sub

When I try to run this, I get:

Run-time error '-2146232576 (80131700)': Automation Error

The research I did on that error message says that there is an incorrect variable. When I hit debug, it highlights:

bot.Start "chrome", "http://www.google.com"

Does any good Samaritan have advice that can get me started with SeleniumBasic?

Use this instead of bot.start

driver.Get("http://www.google.com")
