We would like to use pneumatic wheels partially inflated as wheels w/ their own shocks. How would that fair with the barrier and actually use as shocks?
If you are talking about the new AM pneumatic wheels, we just received ours. They are really grippy and the rubber seems pretty durable. I don’t plan on driving full speed at the bump but I think the will reduce the shock of going over it a LOT.
We’ll see.

The pneumatic wheels used in FIRST are usually caster wheels or cart/wheelbarrow wheels, and are meant for pretty rough applications. I doubt the barrier could mar them, much less pop them.
On the other hand, being ready for anything is pretty important in FIRST. I think it would be cool if all the robots with pneumatic wheels had spare tires mounted on the back.
