I don't think fans can all be lumped together in one group either. 45, 180, 469 and others use fans to provide a ton of pushing power (and acceleration), which enables them to pin other bots very effectively. 1279, 1731, and others use fans to improve acceleration, deceleration, and turning (in order to avoid being pinned).
We'll have to see what kind of fan 121 is putting on their bot as we speak in UTC.....
