While looping with arcpy: ERROR 010240: Could not save raster dataset

Hi I am very new to python coding and have been struggling with this for a while I cannot see the reason for this error! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Here is the code that is causing this error:

#Other stuff to put outside while loop
