It looks like it's a mecanum drive with drop-down traction wheels, rather than a 6-mecanum drivetrain.
Now, I think a 6-mecanum drivetrain could work, provided that the center mecanums were matched to opposite corners--that is, the FL and the RR mecanum wheels are matched to the CL and CR mecanums, and are oriented the same way, either via chain or via programming, or some similar setup.
