I agree, except they do specify that it applies outside the robot volume only. I think that leaves the only interpretation that air shooters that do not prevent the forced air from leaving the robot volume are not legal. You can use forced air for moving fuel around within your robot, as long as that forced air does not direct or redirect any fuel outside the robot volume.
