The wheels were weighted in one side, then placed so the center of gravity was neutral, but on top. When a force comes from the side, it causes the COG to displace, and the wheel rolls, coming to rest where the COG at the bottom. It works- my physics professor actually showed this link in class, then did the wheels rolling uphill demo to disprove all the non-believers.
