If this is the one feature that you want in an omnidrive, try swerve. It provides something very close to true omnidrive while providing a lot of traction (we won a few pushing matches against tank bots in 2011 with our swerve). Other than swerve, I don't really see any quick and easy solutions to a "non pushable" omnidirectional drivetrain.

Team 221 sells a good kit for swerve, albeit the modules are heavy.

Does anyone else have other ideas?
