Traction is what will allow your robot to move. By the same reasoning a tricycle drive base will not be as stable as a square drive base. For instance a, robot with larger wheels inside the same frame will have less stability than one with smaller wheels, because the points of contact (contact points of the wheels) can be further apart with small wheels. It is important to understand that the support base is determined by drawing lines between the points of contact with the ground and NOT the robot frame. Robot four is fairly stable because the center of gravity is low and between the tires, although it should be noted that if this robot were to pick up a game piece, it could easily move the center of gravity and make it unstable. Robot three (lower left) is not stable because the center of gravity is high and if any of its wheels are lifted, it will not take much for the center of gravity to move outside the support base. Robot two (top right) is very unstable and is in the process of falling over because its center of gravity is outside of its support base. Robot one (top left) is a stable robot with its center of gravity located low and equally between the wheels. The good people at Worcester Polytechnic Institute developed some nice diagrams to illustrate this principle with robots as part of their EBOT training workshop (historical note: the EBOT was the 1st generation VEX design system). If the stick put on its flat side, this is the most stable condition and it actually has to be lifted in any direction in order to move the center of gravity outside its base. If you lay the stick lengthwise, but on the narrow edge, it is more stable, but a small change in angle from the side will move the center of gravity outside the base and it will tip over. You may have balance a yard/meter stick upright on the palm of your hand, in order to do this you need to make adjustments by moving your hand to keep the stick's center of gravity over the narrow end of the stick. Every object will fall to its most stable configuration as soon as the center of gravity passes outside its base of support. At some point in a robot operator's driving career, she/he will experience the terrible situation of having to stand around for the rest of a match because their robot is over on its side and can not pick itself up. This concept is very important when designing your robot in two areas, stability and traction.
