It looks like 6 wheel dead axle, but... something tells me it's not what it seems to be. Why would someone just post a picture of rather standard drive wheels? :confused:

they maybe standard drive wheels, but they are very blue!. Now if those aren't for the drive train it is possible its a teaser for the ball roller to be a horizontal rotation to keep the ball in check.

I'm guessing the sprockets are a red herring, and the vertical stacked orientation of the wheels is a bigger clue.

You're making the sideways equivalent of a "ball magnet", the ball touches the rollers and it guides into the center for a precise kick.

maybe the drive wheels in the front are a red herring too
