A holonomic drive system is a drive system that provides three degrees of freedom:
- Ability to drive forward
- Ability to drive sideways
- Ability to rotate
In essence, a holonomic drive system is unconstrained. It can accelerate in any direction at any time, and accelerate rotationally at any time.

Search chief delphi for "holonomic drive" or "omnidirectional drive", there's a lot of threads about this already.
