Sure.

Our 2015 robot was by no measure a dominant tote handling robot. While the claw itself held onto totes reasonably well, the system by which the totes were staged for the claw was sort of an afterthought. We relied on totes exiting the chute door consistently and landing on the floor in the same position every time. By the time we hit the competition field, we realized that this was not something we could rely on.
Adding an active intake system would have solved this issue and made us a better tote handler. We later confirmed this at our final offseason event where our newly installed intake system helped us to increase our tote output from 2-4 totes scored per match to 8-10 totes scored per match.

As a team, we like to look at everything we do, from great success to disappointing losses, and we try to learn from them to continuously improve. Every experience will yield a powerful lesson learned.
I believe that critically evaluating all past experiences, regardless of win or lose, is a skill that will make average teams good and good teams great.
