There are walkie-talkie style ham radios, which is what anyone at an FRC event would probably be using - I hope nobody's considering setting up a base station in their pit.

Depending on the power output of a ham radio, its distance from other devices, and the extent of the RF shielding/protection in those devices, a ham radio can most certainly cause interference in other devices on different bands... and even on sensitive electronics generally.
