For a decent portion of this time, we discussed the general rules, and created a list of big parts of the game, big ones being how to score and how much each way is worth, and lack of safe zones, which is different from the past three years. As a reminder:

From the general scoring possibilities, it would seem assists are wanted and needed. This means a floor intake is required, giving the robot the ability to pick up a missed ball or floor passes. Also, as high goal and truss points are next to assists in terms of scoring points, some sort of launcher would also be required. In addition to those, the ability to catch would be nice, but can be somewhat of a bonus, and should not affect the way the robots play the game.
By the end of the game analysis, we wrote out all possible strategies and abilities and knocked off the one's thought to be useless (playing in the goalie zone). As a result, a requirements list was created for features/abilities of the robot.

We were now set for the rest of the conceptual design process, moving toward the preliminary design/prototyping phase.
