I have to disagree. I dont see how it is against the spirit of the rules at all. The rule said you had to use the stoke wheels to support the robot, but says nothing about how those wheels have to be propelled. With fans, the wheels are the only thing in contact with the floor and that is 100% in the spirit of the rule.
