First of all, there are a lot of great ideas here. Thanks, Don!
Second, the idea of using a fan for downforce (either blowing down from above or creating a partial vacuum below) is Q&A material, but here's my opinion anyway: I think it's legal, as it doesn't change the traction devices - the wheels - but improves their ability to grip. The last sentence in R06 is pretty clear on its intent:

The intent of this rule is that the ROVER WHEELS be used in as close to their “out of the box” condition as possible, to provide the intended low-friction dynamic performance during the game
