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?

"hypothetical" might be a better term for that. This unit is geared pretty low (free speed at 14.9 fps) so the acceleration on 6 CIMs should be pretty good. The lateral resistance of omni wheels is kind of an unknown at this point.
