Using RF Transmitter and Reciever for our robot

hi, I am working on a college project with a group of 5.
We are building an autonomous vehicle that is able to race in a course with obstacles and also be able to run on predefined shapes, like if the teacher says go in a triangle, the car·can go in a triangle with some markers.
Right now we are thinking of use several sensors, collect the data of those sensor with a microcontroller and then send those data with wireless·RF trans/rece to our computer program which will handle the data and send back instructions back to our car to control its speed and steering.
We understand this way, there will be some latency to the system
so we are trying to find the best RF·trans/rec available for this type of operation (hopefully easy to use)
any comment or suggestion will be appreciated.

it seems like you have to build a circuit and everything.
wouldnt bluetooth be more simple?
