Bluetooth runs at the same spectrum as WiFi, the communications used by the FMS. You can guess that there will be some sort of interference that will occur.

Bluetooth may run off the same frequency as WiFi, however it uses the IEEE 802.15 specification (instead of WiFi's IEEE 802.11 specification). This difference makes bluetooth legal under the current rule, since only 802.11 is explicitly mentioned in the rule.

Of course there are technicalities and ethical reasons against using bluetooth, but none are explicitly stated in the rule itself.

*Note* 2014 and prior rules have no bearing on the 2015 rules and are subject to change by FIRST
