This chart was quite fascinating in considering the next entrant to the HoF. Helps to show some trends too. Couldn't find the thread its from, someone else made it!
It's an interesting chart, but there are some things to point out. To begin with, I would be interested to see a chart like this that only includes the HoF entries from the last 10 years. This chart shows several teams winning the HoF after only one or two RCAs, but the reality is that it was much more common for that to happen in the early days of FIRST. With the exception of a couple outliers, most the HoF entries from the last decade or so have had at least 4 RCA wins prior. I.e. I think it's statistically much harder to win in the hall of fame with relatively few RCA wins. The past several years, the award has gone to the team with a high number of RCA wins, again with the exception of an outlier or two.
