We lost it once, but not on the wing. The body cover came off during one match when it was poorly attached. The wing skins were held on first by velcro, then by screws. They did take a beating, though - after the LSR, the robot looked like it had been through the ringer, with holes in the sail, a bent mast, gouges and scratches on the wing skins, and a nearly destroyed surprise bar (that's the agressively pocketed aluminum reinforcement in the middle that doesn't let people just drive through the sail). The systems of the robot were functioning fine, though - all of the armor worked.
