Read the thread first.

They are part of a modular system. Omni's OR Treads, The Kat's choose before matches what they are gonna go with.

I never saw any official answer...

But that's the most logical guess, as the omniwheel part is modular. You can see the bolts on the frame meaning that it is meant to be taken off easily. It's not welded together like most of the TechnoKats robot.

The only thing I can't figure out is what's driving it. The coupling on their primary gearbox is meant for easy release (and to absorb shock), but I don't understand why they would waste all that power on these omniwheels...
