Actually, I was curious why one would put any motors on the omni wheels at all. In the pictured design they are actually only used for balance and could not move the robot sideways anyway since the drive wheels do not appear to be omni so why power them at all? The robot can simply turn like a two wheel differential drive but not actually move omni-directionally in a true holonomic sense.
