Dude, there are is no cg. the tires are weighted to roll up the ramp.

 

It is true that there was no cg in this video. The explanation for why the tires roll up the hill is that they are weighted at the top. The weight is balanced at the beginning, but after they get knocked off center, the weight falls sideways to the ground rolling it up the hill.

 

You can even see how the wheels wobble when they attempt to rebalance themselves as the weight gets to the bottom of the wheel.

 

Gotcha guys. I had a couple of my buddies actually look at it too, they too said it wasn't possible. Being rediculous as we usually are, we spent a couple hours doing some calculation and thought WTF!!!! So we than looked on the internet and found out that they were weighted... very creative. I have no problem admitting that I am wrong, and maybe I should have looked at stuff. Oh well... didn't. Anyhow, we did find out that there needed to be more than 15lbs of weight to make the tires do that... neglecting friction.
