Possibility of using a Bluetooth camera on FRC 2017 Steamworks robot

My team tried to use the Axis cameras provided by FIRST on our robot to access a camera feed through the game in last year's competition. The camera worked reliably when we practiced during the season but found that at the tournament, the wifi connections were spotty and we weren't able to use our Axis cameras effectively due to these connectivity issues.

Some of our programmers have heard of other teams using Bluetooth cameras instead of the wifi-enabled Axis cameras. I am looking up documention/possibilities on this but would like to know: Is Bluetooth entirely illegal to use in the competition this year? Are bluetooth cameras allowed?

We realize that using a camera other than Axis would prevent us from connecting the camera with the FRC software, but all we need is to access the feed on our computer monitor, nothing else.

Any advice/experience on using bluetooth cameras (or other camera options that have reliable connectivity in the field) would be appreciated!
