If the wheels which are powered together drive in the same direction along the same line, you should still have holonomic motion - with the understanding that by virtue of the chain or timing belt, the two (or more) wheels are
not independent degrees of freedom, but are effectively the same actuator. I say should because I have not actually tried this yet. I would like to play with a 6-wheel kiwi; it might be a decent platform for a hexagonal or circular 'bot.
