Omni-wheels (theoretically) have no less traction in their "Y axis" (forward/reverse) than regular wheels do, so they would have the same slippage point as the drive wheels. In practice this is not always true (particularly with traction wheels and omni-wheels with plastic rollers), but with the right wheels it could be. Say they use AM Trick Wheels with the black EDPM rubber rollers and lower traction drive wheels.
