We are currently exploring our other options; Bluetooth seems to be one of them. Can anyone confirm once and for all whether or not Bluetooth is allowed at competitions? I've seen conflicting information on this site and want to be totally clear on what is and isn't allowed at competitions.

I'm not sure what version of Android you're using, but I can hot swap flash and SD storage on my phone (HTC One, Android 4.3) with an OTG cable using the ES File Explorer.
