What's the maximum speed at which you can switch between Mecanums and high-traction wheels? Plus, about many switches can be performed before there becomes a serious air deficiency such that it is unreasonable to switch at all, assuming you have about 3-4 tanks at 120 PSI at the start.

YMMV, but we used 1 tank, (2) 1.5" bore, 2" stroke cylinders to switch between traction & mecanums, (2) .75" (6 or 8" stroke) to lift claw, and 2 small cylinders to deploy the minibot, and never had a want for more air.
