Except that, as best as I could see, their treads are directly driven off the gearboxes. There was no chain. So, the sprocket on the omniwheels becomes the anomaly.

I'd not be too surprised if they popped out of the bottom for easier turning. It's a great system, still allows for two speeds, and is capable of doing other neat things, too, unrelated to drivetrain stuff.
