That would be one way, and the only COTS design that comes to mind. Our off season version was home brew, and not at all optimized, more a proof of concept. In some way, you need to have the wheel able to move up and down, and apply a relatively steady force to hold it down as it moves. Pneumatics gives you the option of lifting the strafe wheel up (or at least not pushing it down) to maximize traction on your primary drive wheels.
