Your correct and wrong at the same time. Bluetooth is not allowed because its a form of wireless communication in the form of radio frequency. You are allowed to use communication TO the robot with IR, visible light, and sound. Bluetooth is a form of radio communication, not in the categories allowed, making it illegal to use.
