I can't speak to there being any delay, as I never touched the controls, but Blue certainly seemed to have issues all competition long - breaking down three times for a total of about three hours of downtime.

However, I just reviewed out scouting info from the regional, and found that, if anything, blue had the advantage at the PNW regional:

blue won 37 times to red's 24 wins
blue scored 1640 total points to red's 1332

With hard numbers like these, I think its hard to say that red had any advantage this year.
