He's not really referring to omniwheels, but the Killough drive platform. It's a 3-wheeled drive that can be assembled in any number of ways. It basically looks kinda like a peace sign or a Y. Usually, you'd use omniwheels and the wheels are perpendicular to the ends of the Y, so that 2 wheels would drive the robot and the third would follow (slide across the floor).
