Sorry for the silly question. I am out of the loop on VEX stuff.

If the Programming Port uses RS-232 voltages, then you could use an off the shelf Blue Tooth radio like this one.

Otherwise, I would use the TTL voltage level serial port and use one of the modules that is compatible with that voltage level.
