Re: Bluetooth communication?

[R52], [R53], and [R54] all would ban bluetooth communication between the cRio and a secondary device during competition.

As for modding the cRio to accept bluetooth, I do not know if it is possible. But i would just suggest if at a demo you would like to use a secondary computer on the robot to monitor or communicate, the cRio has external RJ-45 ethernet ports available all ready.

Edit:
R55 also explicitly denies the use of bluetooth communication during competition at all.
