they say 1 tetra on a robot to start the match.

This equals 39... Except that one robot per alliance "could" choose to start with a tetra... right? So, that adds one.... And then I'm assuming the hanging tetras are counted into the loading station count instead of separately.
The original manual stated 40 tetras per side, and I wouldn't think that to change. Maybe just an oversight...

Your incorrect the update reads as follows:

1. The human player mat areas will have approximately 3 stacks of 6 tetras each = 18
2. The loading platforms will have approximately 2 stacks of 8 tetras each = 16
3. One robot starts with a tetra = 1
4. 2 vision tetras on each side = 2
5. 2 tetras in each corner goal = 2

therefore the one robot per alliance could choose to start with a tetra is covered by #3 and assuming the hanging tetras are counted into the loading station is covered by #5 so the total number per team is 39.

hope this cleared it up

EDIT---------------------
FIRST was incorrect also they forgot the two on the manual loading stations therefor the total is 41 per team see Q&A #980 or Team update 2
