For instance, They send 100 kids down with wristbands that can transmit vitals but cannot detect that there are grounders on the planet? Come on! And not just the wristbands. For something that fell from space, a lot of systems survived without a problem. I'm talking of course of the arks. In space they were falling apart until it came to the extreme measure of sending unarmed teenagers to the planet, basically to die. Even if things all went according to plan. But not only did they survived the reentry into the planet atmosphere but they also remained for the most part intact. Even the key systems were working.

So yeah. Technology works according to the producers needs.

Now that they got nuclear powerplants going to meltdown in six months (at the same time! This is beyond lunacy) we'll see them fixing plains, choppers, submarines, tanks... Whatever they need. Even the power plants themselves they'll get there and something that should've exploded decades ago, and hasn't have any kind of maintenance, will have all the necessary fail-safe systems, working in perfect condition. With the exception of maybe one or two, so they can kill some characters.
