I'm using a free statistics program called R. It did the linear regression for me. The slope was -0.003130, meaning that there was a very slight trend towards less scores as team number increased. However, I don't remember enough from my last stats course to determine the variability of the slope.
So I guess saying "there is no statistical correlation" isn't entirely true, since I didn't check. There doesn't appear to be any correlation, but there may be.
For the difference between blue and red scores though, I did do a check and there is genuinely no statistically significant difference between them.
Edit: found a team age list on the FirstWiki. I'll try and plug that into my numbers.
