Stability sake, the COG needs to be below the center of the wheel.
These are the features I have noted amongst the most successfully

If the CoG is *not* below the centre of the wheel, the vehicle will move.
That's how it works.  :)

I think Joe mighta meant "below the line passing throught the wheel COG", which
does tend to help with lateral stability. But I could be wrong...

WRT the subject of droid wheels, you may be able to get something happening

however the fit is quite tight, so you might need to experiment a bit with
spacing. You would probably need wheels on either side of the toothed annulus.
