Anyone know if there is an advantage to either one of the dongles or why FIRST used the Linksys dongles at competition instead of the ones teams had?

I believe that this the correct Linksys Bluetooth Dongle that FIRST was using : http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/products/USBBT100

I was wondering that too. My team set up the fields for RI the day before the competition. My team has found that the dongle included with the kit loses connection every now and then. The Linksys bluetooth seams to have better connectivity.

I wonder if FIRST will make teams use the dongle included in the kit or if we will be able to use any brand.
