We would like to be able to drive our demo bot ( just a chassis for now) with a tablet or phone.

You can connect wirelessly as is pointed out below. However, at a competition you need the ethernet so if you want to practice with the same thing as you want at competition, then Android might not be the most practical option.

For demo bot, it could work (just from a Wifi vs. Ethernet perspective).
