I'm sure you can attest to this better than I can. While I'm certain many of these teams experience turnover like the rest of FRC, some of these HOF teams have cultivated a sustained mentor base that isn't easily impacted by turnover. Having the ability to retain those key mentors is huge. Institutional knowledge of FRC often makes the difference between a good team and a great one. The fact that some of these teams have mentors who've been with their program, or at least FRC for 10-15+ years is certainly a testament to the program those teams have created. I would argue that this key group of mentors certainly helped shape those teams, and many of them continue to do so today.
