Many have claimed that this is the year of Pneumatic wheels, and those were my initial thoughts too, but my mentor seemed to not find that thought very appealing. After watching videos of teams like 1114 at rebound rumble, I almost have no doubts about using them. But I want to hear what everyone else thinks about this.

Are Pneumatic wheels really the most optimal choice?
What other wheels or drives could offer similar or better performance?
What size wheel would be most optimal?
Which would be most optimal 4 wheels or 6 wheels?

Our team is leaning toward Treads, as it could be optimal in going over the outer structures.
