I'd discourage the use of some wheels though....

Tough to get through the low bar - but go for it!
(oh and, check your wheel base - tippiness...)
rest is solid.

It's pretty ambitious to try and fit a 16" bike tire into 16" hole, but I guess if you have an incredible driver...

Re: Bicycle Tires: Are they legal in 2016?
I think they might mean using bicycle tire as tank tread material. There was an FTC team that posted a video early in the season this year showing off bicycle tire in this application and was able to climb the mountain up to the high zone pretty smoothly (a lot of FTC teams had been struggling with this task early on in the season).
