The robot is never done, there is always something to improve. Keep tweaking until it's better and understand why it is better, then redesign and implement. Simplify your systems as far as you can. Accept nothing less than 100% reliability, then making it faster.
I don't even want to talk about how many can grabbers we built in 2015. /shudder But that is the reason not a single team ever beat us in a can race at champs, we made the fastest triggering, highest accelerating, reliable grabbers by spending MONTHS reworking them. We could have gone faster but decided to stick with building a robot and not a cleverly disguised lethal booby trap.
