I think this "bladder"
idea might work better as you could have more air displaced (assuming you
hit the obstacle with any kind of speed <G> ).
Concern for a bump producing enough displacement to move the cylinder might
be addressed by using a medium that doesn't compress like air. Water (if
you dare) might have a better displacement, but I still believe that you
would need a larger diameter tubing. The problem with air is that the
larger the tubing or bladder the larger the ability to compress (I think).
