If FIRST is on top of this, and I would assume that they are, they would
pick radio channels that do not overlap the particular radio frequencies
used by Orange. FIRST monitors all of the available frequencies and avoids
those with interference. It is likely that some frequencies do not collide.

To actually control a robot with a cell phone you would have to
use the exact frequency and duplicate the communication protocol
used by the robot. It would not be very practical to do.
