Re: pic: My wheel/leg design
You may want to try a tri-wheel.
Essentially its three wheels centered around a point, 120 degrees apart at the center of each wheel. Two rest on the ground and all three spin. When you hit a stair well, the friction cause it to pivot around the center and climb up the step, in theory. I played with the idea but never built it, I'm gonna see if I can do it with the Vex kit I'm getting this weekend.
EDIT: I added a rough sketch.
