yes, this holonomic drive platform is called a killough platform, named after stephan killough(guy who invented it) :D
google around about lego killough platform. you'll find countless ones... even tiny ones. with the "rollers" being the same sized wheels as my omnidrive base one used. i have created a few lego killough platforms and found they take up much more space than a "conventional" omniwheel. and they look better too :D

A holonomic drive system is a drive system that provides three degrees of freedom:
- Ability to drive forward
- Ability to drive sideways
- Ability to rotate
In essence, a holonomic drive system is unconstrained. It can accelerate in any direction at any time, and accelerate rotationally at any time.

Search chief delphi for "holonomic drive" or "omnidirectional drive", there's a lot of threads about this already.
