Kind of like that.

I don't think its an omni system you are describing.
It seems like it probably drive like a shopping cart? I feel that would be the case. Of course I'm just guessing, but I feel like the front of your robot would float a lot.
It would be very hard to drive straight unless everything on your back wheels run perfect (proper weight distribution, power distribution, etc.)
Might be too finicky for its advantages.
Just my 2 cents though
