If I'm not mistaken, you can get special permission (maybe from the FTA?) to use wireless equipment for the purposes of media. If you can prove that you're using it for a media purpose, you can probably get the field staff to allow it (not guaranteeing this in any way)
Also, on the note of wireless stuff in general:
*Venue and FIRST staff have a very wide-banded walkie-talkie system, and it would be very bad if teams had access to these channels. (for reasons that won't be explained here.)
*The bit out 802.11n being dual-banded is true, and the field uses a system to scout out wireless networks that are being operated in the venue, and will ask teams to turn off their devices if they are detected
*I don't see a problem with bluetooth in and of itself, bluetooth headsets aren't banned from the event, and I've even seen teams scouting using bluetooth Wii-motes. The issue becomes with the rules regarding communications with the driver.
