That's the great thing about a machine. You can go back to the drawing board when the test shows a flaw in the design. Unlike a human.

The Paladin was designed to work as the control of a group. The fight against RWBY was like sending a one armed one leg man into a butt kicking contest.

So far we have not seen Grimm with any abilities like RWBY's.

Except for the Nevermore and the Death Stalker the girls easily beat Grimm on a 1 to 1.
