Why, yes, yes, and yes.

HoF and Legacy teams, as noted at http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...ility-criteria, are as follows:

HoF: 16, 51, 67, 103, 111, 120, 151, 175, 191, 236, 254, 341, 365, 842, 359.
Legacy: 20, 45, 126, 148, 151, 190, 191.
Note: 151 and 191 are on both lists.

If one of those teams gets multiple slots, then one or more of those slots would open up to the waitlist. Ditto if someone gets multiple merit-based qualifications in one year (or is the winner of a Championship or EI at the Championship level the previous year).
