There is nothing against bluetooth except when you are at the field competing (to prevent extra communication with the robot/minibot/people outside of the drivers and coach).

As for broadcasting a signal your iPad could pick up, it is unlikely from the pits. Williams arena alone has 13 enterprise grade access points around it, and the coverage still has room for improvement. One access point barely provides coverage over the pits, when you factor in going through walls you have a slim chance of it working out. I will check out using their guest network tomorrow or tuesday to see if that would work for team viewer but there are no guarantees that this network will even be running because of possible interference.
