Not that I know about. The problem with using a WiFi jammer is that it would probably jam the field WiFi as well, which is the LAST thing you want to do! They do use WiFi sniffers to figure out who is running a network and ask them nicely to turn said network off.

Another off topic thing not worth making a thread about: Why is there a 7Mbps WiFi bandwidth cap? Don't they use N routers, with a capacity of 300Mbps? That would mean 75Mbps per robot connection! Even if they used WiFi A or G, they could get ~14Mbps!
Go read the 2012 Einstein Report. The cap wasn't placed until after that event.
