Essentially their primary drive mode is Monster Truck steering. It's a traditional omnidirectional swerve derivation (like the type Ether posted) but with strafe locked out.
It will only ever let you drive smooth splines essentially, so you're always carrying your speed with you. You can still do very tight radius (and at no speed zero radius) turns.
They then have multiple (maybe just one?) other modes they toggle into for strafing variants.
16 could explain better, but I think I got the jist of it. I feel video of their 2012 bot shows this pretty well.
