It's a swerve drive; you rotate the wheel to face in different directions in addition to spinning it with a CIM or other motor. So you can rotate the wheel sideways to translate left and right as well as forward and backward.

This is one with a CIM actually inside the wheel, acting as an axle. It lowers the center of gravity and is really cool anyway.
