It might, but at worst it's going to be hunting for the router you originally configured it to associate with. I'm not incredibly well versed in how exactly the game adapter works, but it's possible it just waits for a beacon frame from the router before it starts associating. At worst, it's going to send out probe frames to try to discover the router. You could have every robot in the regional doing this and it wouldn't make a noticeable dent in the 802.11n bandwidth.

The real problem would be teams running their routers and robots at the same time. Then you have a constant, fairly high rate datastream going. With extra routers all over the place for robots to possibly mistakenly associate with. And etc., etc.

EDIT: Again, a WiFi station/adapter/etc. isn't going to generate much traffic or interference, until it is associated with a network and actively doing something. So restrictions on actual wifi devices are mostly an abundance of caution. It's the restrictions on connecting to wireless networks and such that are going to be important.
