i have seen this before, there is a differential in the middle omni, not axial inputs are the chains from each mechanum wheel, this allows for good push in one direction, and it eliminates a TON of slop in the system, i have never built one full scale, but i built a lego prototype, the omni wheel spins the average of the two mechanum wheels.
