wow, I think you just blew my mind!

a sort of cone shaped wheel with a bit of a curve to it.

when one end is contacting the ground the 'wheel' diameter is very small, the other end large, and inbetween, infinitely variable!

all you need is pnuematics to tip the cone towards one end or the other.
