Calculating Wheel Size To Climb

It seems like one prevalent method that will be used this year to get onto the platforms will be to utilize big wheels. I tried to calculate how big such a wheel would be needed using a 130lb robot but didn't come up with a way to do it. Can someone with a deeper physics background explain the method?
