The FIRST awards guide states that teams need to focus on newer activities (the last 2 years or so), so teams that are winning multiple RCA's are continuing programs and adding new ones.
The focus has shifted to "what are you doing now", so a team cannot win an RCA in 2008 based on something they did in 2006 - they have to continue to expand and grow their programs.
Teams that are winning multiple RCA's, especially at the same Regional, must be adding to their programs in a way that continues to impress the judges, because often the RCA judges are very experienced and some are RCA judges for several years.
