Bluetooth for Homebrew Robots?

MacGod asks: "As an extra-curricular for my university, I am working some other engineers to try and design a RoboSoccer Project (please don't wipe out our server if possible), with the hopes of entering the RoboCup tournament in the near future. We are currently using some low-frequency Abacom RF communication modules, but would like to able to go to BlueTooth if possible. However, I have found it nearly impossible to locate any suitable BlueTooth modules. We'd really like something that could be put onto a breadboard, and that would come with sufficiently detailed instructions that we'd be able to implement it without being BlueTooth experts. Any suggestion on homebrew BlueTooth solutions, Slashdot?"

    Hint : if you don't want your server being hit, don't put a link to it on /. front page !

    Other possibility : require flash player on the front page with no alt text for the only visible thing on your site.

    In soviet russia, new robot overlords welcome US !

    (please don't wipe out our server if possible)

    Um you probably should have though of that before you post to /. That is like waving a red flag to a bull. Good luck!

    Your site requires flash, you're posting it to slashdot, and you're asking us not to wipe out your server? *boggle*
