Being asked to remove it could come from two sources: first, the inspector may not realise it was a legal fan for the robot, and it would be an ideal time to respectfully ask for a second opinion from the LRI and make your case for it being legal. Second, without actually seeing the fan that was used, it's possible that the fan was NOT one of the ones that has been distributed in the KoP over the years - those, and any that are integral to a COTS computing device or constructed from a legal motor are the only ones that are legal for use on a robot.
