You could probably spend a lot of time playing with the geometry to get it to work just right for a strafing segway robot, since the downforce is dependent on the geometry and how much torque the motor is applying. Would be a fun project!

Yeah, 148's bot in 2014 was the first instance of it, a JVN special (the VEXiq prototype was adorable).
