durability of the pneumatics tires
i was curious about what other teams thought about the durability of the 12.5" pneumatic wheel provided in the kit. although we have not tested the wheels, we expect there is a fair chance that they might be damaged or loose air during the season, enough to warrant the purchasing of at least two extra wheels.

do you think there is a risk of damaging the tire, and if so, what will cause the damage? other things to consider are precautions teams can take to protect their tires, and whether or not the tires can be repaired (like a bicylcle tire).
