The NXT unit (used by FTC and FLL) is Bluetooth-capable. The FRC controller isn't the NXT, though.

Using WiFi, pretty much eliminates the possibility of Bluetooth. They both operate in the 2.4GHz band and thus interfere with each other. I would not want to operate a Bluetooth device in an environment with what could be 6 or more channels of WiFi (or as low as 2 channels). Bluetooth frequency hops around the whole spectrum but with that many active channels there is no open frequencies. Hopefully the FRC/FTC(NXT) interference can be minimized by good floor planning. Maybe the WiFi will run in Bluetooth friendly mode.
