Re: use of fans on bot

If it uses legal motors, and is properly enclosed so safety is not compromised, you should be just fine.

However... I do want to note that air wall tactics have been discussed a number of times, and the odds aren't necessarily in your favor, should you go for that method (though I can think of a couple of fans that might be able to do some frisbee disruption and fit in the robot size).
