I would recommend larger, soft wheels. They'll cushion some of the impact and give you a better chance of hitting the lexan with wheels rather than metal. Just my $0.02.
I'd also like to back up Koko Ed on the "intentional" field damage. If you do it once, it may not be intentional. If you do it twice and were warned the first time, you should have learned the first time. Bots that bent the low bar or ripped the fabric (or otherwise damaged the field) were warned the first time, and if they did it again were penalized. This should give teams ample time to fix the problem or re-evaluate if they actually can fit under the low bar (or cross the other defenses).
