Our robot is using A bot board 2 and SSc- 32 boards to control the robot consisting of 11 servos and we have generated most of our codes using the import code function from the Visual Sequencer software now in order to integrate wireless control into our robot i wanted to which model blue tooth would be suitable for this purpose
I suggest you read the threads:

Spark Fun has a nice set.

i got a fair idea of how to integrate this but i wanted to know if there is a manual to program the bot board 2 with blue tooth technology because we did program our robot with Lynx motion Ps2 controller last time i wanted to know if some thread had the steps to go about doing the same for blue tooth.
Not sure what you mean. There is no “blue tooth technology” to program into the BB2. Just use a pair of pins (other then the RS-232 level pins) with TTL for the Blue Smirf, and set up probably 38.4K (9.6K?) on the PC for the speed of the com channel. You should then be able to use the com version of a program generated for the BB2 (w/ Powerpod), or copy the com routines for use in other apps (you need some handshaking).

my basic question was if there is any guide or forum post that shows us exactly how to do the make the wireless connection between laptop and ssc works
I am confused whats wrong with this tutorial?

It works great on my CH3-R hexapod.

i am not confused about the hard ware part i am confused as to how to program it . as in like how do i tell the whole set up that my up arrow makes my robot do a particular action .
Start with a serial port controlled 'bot, then basically drop in the blue tooth.
The USB Blue tooth driver for the specified Sparkfun parts gives you a virtual com port, that Serial_CP_H3 can talk to.
And you understand that the Bluetooth xcvr is TTL, so you’ll probably want to switch over to the hardware implemented USART in the PIC (Atom BASIC), or similar in the 'PRO.
Read the tutorials, and the the threads on the Blue tooth!

Yes, the URL that ExMachina posted is what you need. It’s not just about installing the Bluetooth board - scroll down just over half way and the software config is there too.
Try replying to current posts.

what do you need to make chumby bluetooth caplabe, (price instructions) and what could one use it to do?
For the chumby, you could use a BT USB dongle such as this one: robotshop.com/ProductInfo.aspx?pc=RB-All-20
