From this year's rulebook:

4.3.1 Robot Wireless Control

Robots may be operated via wireless control only on the competition fields and the practice field with the FIRST supplied radio; and

Teams are not allowed to set up their own 802.11a/b/g/n (2.4GHz or 5GHz) wireless communication (access points or ad-hoc networks) in the venue
Note that a wireless hot spot created by a cellular device would be considered an access point, and thus not allowed

From last year's rulebook:

4.4.1 Robot Wireless Control
 Robots may be operated via wireless control only on the competition fields and the practice field with the FIRST supplied radio; and
 Teams are not allowed to set up their own 802.11a/b/g/n (2.4GHz or 5GHz) wireless communication (access points or ad-hoc networks) in the venue

Please, please please! do not set up your own wireless networks that the venue. There is nothing worse than to see your robot get to the other side of the field and stop working because the wireless drops out!
