Sorry, but I have to disagree. I can even do it with 4" wheels.

As a trivial example, imagine a wooden 'ramp' at the front end of the robot (inside the bumper perimeter), starting at 5" and ending at 2". Hitting the barrier at speed will launch the bot over.
As for high-centering, if you use Gates Belt instead of chain, it can act as a tank tread for between the wheels.
