Bluetooth communication?

True. How difficult is it to send information to the crio and have it understand it from a computer without the driver station. Would raw sockets work?

You need the Driver Station computer running to enable the robot. If you are talking about how you talk to the cRIO with a second computer, I'm looking into the Network Tables stuff used by the Smart Dashboard. Looking through the SmartDashboard stuff on the robot and dashboard sides it looks like the Dashboard is just a Network Table with a specific name and you should be able to just make a new table with whatever name you want (or possibly just use the SmartDashboard table? I'm not sure yet if it would work with 3 devices).
