Re: pic: it's a Vex Holonomic Drive!
Coincidentally, I'm on the verge of finishing my own omniwheel robot. I got the chassis together yesterday but haven't actually powered it yet (electronics aren't ready). I was pushing it around and noticed that the traction wasn't great, but it was decent. I think that the problem is it's too light. It probably weighs <2lb. The motors won't backdrive, but it will slide.

I'm using these wheels, by the way.
