Script not working when animation is enabled

I am testing to make a cube move with a script. Also have a simple Roll animation for the cube which is supposed to activate whenever I move the cube.

But the cube doesn't move when the animation is 'checked' as active under the inspector tab. The cube only moves if I disable animation thus not even able to see if the animation works properly when I move the cube. The cube is imported from Blender to Unity. Please advice what I am doing wrong.

The script is as follows. It is a very simple and small test file thus I have attached my Unity and Blender files too at Dropbox for reference if that helps. Thank you.

Movement script for cube:

Code (CSharp):

1.     public float speed = 10.0F;
2.     Animator anim;
3.  
4.     void Update()
5.     {
6.         float translation = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * speed;
7.         translation *= Time.deltaTime;
8.         transform.Translate(0, 0, translation);
9.  
10.         Animating(translation);
11.     }
12.  
13.     void Animating(float v)
14.     {
15.         bool roll = v != 0f;
16.         anim.SetBool("Roll", roll);
17.     }

 

First of all, you need to assign the animator component to the anim variable, otherwise it will most likely throw an exception which you can find in the console.

Code (CSharp):

1. void Start()
2. {
3.         anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
4. }
