While I agree with your statement that the 2015 rules may not reflect the 2014 rules, it is not for the reason you posted.
For 2015, the radio system is NOT undergoing an overhaul. FMS has no reported changes due to the 2015 control system. The only thing that is subject to change is the type of bridge we use on the robot side, whether it is a USB dongle device, or something similar to the DLINKs we currently have.
In either case, the final 2015 bridge choosen by FIRST to live on the Robot does not change the radio system used. It will still be 802.11 and it will still be roughly the same FMS.
But to answer the original question, there are no rules prohibiting bluetooth, FTA's retain the right to ask you to turn off any communication at any event if they feel it is causing interference with the event, whether it is explicitly stated in the rules or not as prohibited.
Hope this helps,
Kevin
