Correct me if I'm wrong

I've been thinking about the robots that are using fans/props for propulsion.
Aren't they inadvertently supplying traction to the front wheels? The force of the the fan/prop pivots on the rear wheels and applies a force to the front wheels. Yes or no?

Reference this Q&A
Q) Can we increase the normal force with a fan or other component, so long as it does not harm the ARENA?

A) No. Any vacuum/suction/fan system that alters the traction characteristics of the ROBOT would be considered a violation of Rule <R06>.
