Re: Mecanum Wheels
Ether, they are independently driven.
There's a ball differential in the middle of the omni wheel sprockets in the middle of their drive, allowing the mecanums to drive independently. I'll see if I can dig up the original pictures and threads in CD-Media.

Those should get the technical specs going for you; they represent 3 iterations of the drive.
