Are there any network protocol that we can use at competition?
Basically, our team wants to set up a LAN at competition, but the rules restrict pretty much forbid all of the 802.11 routers. Does anyone know of any routers which could be used?

I have read about 802.11ad, which is the only one not explicitly banned in the rules. Does anyone know any reason why that one is different? Did they just forget about it seeing as it seems to just come out? Will they ban it in the in the future?

Also, we discussed using Bluetooth; does anyone know any practical problems with that?
