If you can build a robust enough receiver, sure. Battlebots tend to have very simple electronics on them for reliability and cheapness (since you are sending it into battle). Can Bluetooth tolerate all the noise going on from battlebot motors and the arena?

The site says it was designed to work with noise (frequency hopping, etc.).

Bluetooth receivers can be had on sparkfun for under $50:

They're sold out now, but I'm guessing they'll get the modules in stock one day.
