368A is a robot that operates on holonomic drive. The chassis is equipped with four inched omni wheels that allows it to glide across the field, and make faster changes in directions. The manipulator consist of a shovel and basket. The shovel is lightweight and has rubber bands attached to the outer edge to allow more grip on the balls. It is geared at a 1:5 ratio. The shovel is able to hold two footballs and one green ball. The shovel scoops the balls up and dumps it into the basket. The basket is made from anti-slip mats which makes it lighter than metal and easier for the gears to lift. It is geared at 7:3 ratio. The basket can hold about three footballs or eight green balls. The basket then lifts and dumps the balls over the wall, scoring. Our basket is also positioned at a good height where it can provide defense against opposing teams. During the autonomous period we were able to preload the robot with one football and two green balls. The robot is programmed to go straight forward and dumps the load over the wall. During the process of dumping, the basket also knocks over footballs from the high post.

During the build season numerous problems occurred. We had trouble coming up with a design. The first robot we built was disassembled because we needed a larger shovel and basket. We changed our tank drive to holonomic because it permitted us save time moving. Our basket and chassis also had some problems because the motors were stripped or simply broken. We decided to take off the bent shaft that connected the two motors on the basket because it caused the basket to lift awkwardly. In conclusion, we had to design solutions for all these problems and improve our robot over time.
