ML researcher seeks advice on submitting paper with failed real-world deployment

A master's student is seeking advice on submitting a research paper to the Conference on Machine Learning and Systems (MLSys). The paper details an accelerator for diffusion-based action generation in robotics policies, which shows strong offline results but failed when deployed on a real robot. The student is unsure how to frame the negative real-world deployment results and is asking for guidance on including this information, potential reasons for the discrepancy, and alternative metrics to report.
