The theoretical max speed is 1.414 times what the bot is geared to (because you can add the velocity vectors of X and Y travel after a fast turn, ideal hypotenuse is 2^0.5)
It would be a very interesting math problem to calculate the theoretical max speed. I don't think it's 1.414, because that either assumes the motor can get up to max speed immediately after a fast turn, or it assumes that omniwheels have no friction laterally. Instead, as the robot turns, it decelerates in one direction and accelerates in the other. With the omniwheels, the net acceleration will probably increase the speed. But to what maximum?
