-the amethist clue- amethist's molecular structure is in the form of a tetra.
-george burns and john neun- the both did tripple plays, the name of this year's game.
-"If you look and you will see" pertains to the fact that the robots can see this year
-"Between Pi, You, Me."- Pi = 3.14ish, You and Me = 2, between 3.14 and 2 is 3, the number of teams in an alliance this year.
-"Something at the VA Science center reminded me about next year's game." - In an exhibit, there was a pendulum that swayed back and forth in the sand, the structure holding it up was a tetra.

I'm also really sort of surprised that no one picked up on the clues in this message, even after the fact. Billfred usually doesn't miss ones like this! ("vision" ... "three elements" ... "sensing-mobility-manipulation" ... "pyramid" ... "see their way" ... "look for a few ideas")
