1) FTAs: At the events I attended, they checked every robot before the start of every match. If there was a problem, they told the team and showed the team how to fix it, so that they actually knew what was wrong and didn't repeat this mistake in future matches.

2) Robot and game rules that forced people to think outside of the box (even if they whined about it a lot).

3) Withholding allowance.

4) Lots of webcasts.
