I think you'll get burned by R11:
Quote:
<R11> For the purposes of determining compliance with the weight and volume limitations specified in Rule <R07>, these items are NOT considered part of the ROBOT and are NOT included in the weight and volume assessment of the ROBOT:
...
* The OPERATOR CONSOLE.
...
However, for all other purposes the items listed above are considered part of the ROBOT and must comply with all other applicable rules and equirements. In particular, these items are subject to the shipping deadlines specified in Section 4.5.1.1 and must ship in the crate with the rest of the ROBOT.
Emphasis mine. Since the operator console is "part of the robot" when interpreting R66, you cannot use wireless communications to or from it (in my interpretation).
