I wrote about this a while ago [1]. Unfortunately, with robots.txt, you're at the mercy of crawlers. They may respect it or ignore it altogether. You can block IP addresses but many crawlers may not even use static IP addresses.

You can go to extremes and put your content behind a login, as others have suggested. But that would also create friction for your intended audience.
