If you pause the video at about 18 seconds (close up of the ball), you can see some scuff marks but nothing more
Seems to me like a good way to approach the game

Yup, we are using a wheel shooter.
So far the ball hasn't popped haha. We're using plastic treaded wheels and have found that each tread kind of scuffs the ball. But I think this could be solved by a smooth wheel.
If the ball gets a lot more damage, we'll try smooth wheels.
But all in all, wheels are a viable option!!
