I've seen similar configurations before, so I'm assuming this one is no different.

The omni-wheels in the center are slightly lower than the traction wheels in the front and the back. The bot doesn't use all 6 wheels simultaneously. Personally, I don't see the advantage over a basic 2 omni 2 traction drive, because they'll both end up handling the same way.
