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.

Cut out 51, 144, 151, 103, 16, 67, 175, 254, 191, and 120.
Doing this mentally, the mean ends up at about 4.6 for the last decade.
There are 20 competitors with 4 or more wins.
I think it's more difficult to compete effectively (in robot, awards, or Chairman's) at Championships your first couple of times there. There are different standards, the competition is different, and there are a lot of "distractions" during the competition.
