that is a good train of thought, but the compressor doesn't vibrate as much as a small motor with a eccentric mass, like the little one in a cell phone. The compressor in the kit of parts is a fairly quality component in that it is quiet and doesn't vibrate like mad. It also draws a fair amount of power when it's running. If you were using pneumatics on your robot, then what you're thinking of might be an option, but if you just want the compressor for its weak vibration, you might want to consider something else.
