Bluetooth with cRIO/DS?

I want to use the accelerometer in a wiimote rather than the one given in the KoP because our readings are very jittery. I've already successfully connected the wiimote to my home PC that's using a 3rd party Bluetooth dongle, with an installation disc provided.
What I want to know:
Is it possible for me to install that 3rd party software onto the cRIO, and to plug the dongle into one of the USB ports in the DS, so I can retrieve accelerometer values from the Wiimote?

I know this is probably a stretch; the biggest problem is getting the 3rd party installation into the cRIO. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I just thought up of this a few days ago and I'm going in tomorrow to try and test things.

Re: Bluetooth with cRIO/DS?

What you described isn't technically possible, and the rules prohibit other wireless communication devices on the robot or DS.

Re: Bluetooth with cRIO/DS?

While you are not allowed to use Bluetooth for this, what you could do is connect a Wii Nunchuck to the cRio via the I2C port. If you search online, you should be able to find several sites which describe the data format, which looks pretty straight forward. I haven't used i2c anywhere myself, but if you search the forums here and the cRio documentation, you should find instructions on how to use i2c.
