In theory, yes. In practice, not really. Some experimentation that we've done with the radio modems shows that if two radios are on adjacent channels they will interfere with each other. Assigning consecutive channels to robots on the same field would likely lead to intermittent data links (and thus erratic robot behavior). Plus, I imagine that when IFI sets up a competition, they try to stay away from the 5 channels that are user-selectable in case someone happens to be using one of those channels in the pits.
