Let me re-emphasize this. You'll probably have a lot less trouble if you just buy the 400MHz Gumstix with Bluetooth, which will run you about $169. Connect one of the serial ports on the Gumstix to the Vex, and write a couple of lines of code on the Gumstix to redirect I/O from the wired serial port to the Bluetooth UART. Then you have your Bluetooth Vex, and you have a nifty off-board co-processor should you ever need it.
