Second, those who use thin pneumatic wheels may (though I doubt it) risk a puncture running over a can.

edit:
Ok, I just reread the previous post and I see he stated plastic 2-liter bottles. That is kinda likely... but you'd still go through them kinda quickly.
As far as going through items, I remember going through boxes on top of boxes last year. FIRST may decide to use something similar in shape, but more sturdy, or maybe even re-expandable (think balloons). What could be used as a similar size as a 2-liter bottle or soda can, I'm not exactly sure. If they DO go with lots of cans and/or bottles, I'm sure they'll have many many many.
