For that, it should work fine. You could have a problem with using pneumatics because the system may not always be pressurized. Servos might work better because they would allow you to shift regardless of air pressure in the system, and shifting at seed will not be an issue. Just curious, will there be 2 cims per wheel? Because that would be pretty cool.
