Technically when a robot drives forward it compresses the air in front of it, thus (according to your definition) all drivetrains are illegal.
Fans and blowers, in the past, have been deemed legal and not part of the 'pneumatics system' as long as they were powered by a legal motor.
I would Q&A this question, and I would expect a blower system to be legal. Whether it's effective or not is another question
