If this is true, then all fans and fan-blown vacuum devices on FRC robots are illegal.

It is unclear to me what constitutes a pneumatic device. Obviously nothing custom can be connected to the "canonical" pneumatic system on the robot, which is heavily regulated.

EDIT: Vacuums are legal per R77. Other things maybe not.

R79 Compressed air on the ROBOT must be provided by one and only one compressor. Compressor
specifications must not exceed nominal 1.10 cfm flow rate @ 12VDC.

Hard to argue that an inflatable tube hanger does not create compressed air.
