If you made a custom tread drive before, then by all means go for it, but if you're considering using AM Rhino Track, then I would look for other solutions. Reason being is that it's expensive, it has an insanely long shipping time, and it's largely untested. I also feel that even if Robot in 3 Days ends up using the Rhino Track in its robot, I doubt we would see it in high stress conditions such as pushing matches, etc.

To answer the original question, I have no experience with pneumatic wheels, but I think when it comes to the defenses it would work great. However in 2012, there were teams that made it over the center bump using performance wheels + tread. Perhaps that might reduce some weight to it.
