Referees DO signal that fouls are happening, as they happen. Watch for the flags to go up; refs will often point at the offending robot.

Not every team has developed that practice...at events you go to, do refs/field crews typically seek out teams during/after matches to talk about fouls?
During practice, it's not uncommon for SoCal refs to flag down a flagged team and let them know what penalties they picked up during the practice match. During qual matches, the Head Referee will inform the MC what the fouls were and the MC will announce them.
