I'll start with my 3 tips.

I love these tips. Here is my take on the original 3.
1) Make sure everyone on your team showers every night, and wears deoderant
I've actually spoken to several safety advisors about this at competition. Hygiene at competition is a SAFETY issue and should be managed appropriately. Your local team safety captain should be the defacto leader on this.
2) Make your bumpers slick, and clearly legible from the top of the stands
The United States Sign Council actually took a very analytical/engineering approach to this problem. See here:

Most teams don't have enough white space around their numbers.
3) Stay professional and polite at all times
Yay GP.
