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.

Bottom line answer is no. We took some rather aggressive hits. In one match I swore that I saw a stacker bot skewer the wing and then pull back out. After the match we could not find a hole or mark of any kind. The material was Tyvec House wrap covered with Mylar space blankets. At the end of our second regional there were signs of stress and wear at the beginnings of the cable pockets. We replaced them for Nationals.

wow nice job creating the sail with those materials then, i saw many sails that were destroyed match after match, even saw one where a whole robot when straight through a sail and just kept on going...
