It probably is relaxing to her. That's great. I also enjoy a clean shop.

Every team meeting, ask her to help with a specific robot-related activity. Keeping it specific, while asking her questions about what she thinks regarding design and strategy questions will encourage her to push herself.

Also, encourage her teammates to clean up after themselves.
