A big omniwheel would be redundant as they are already basically omniwheels. A mecanum (spelling?) wheel however...

Also I'm not sure a giant omni wheel made of these would work because then technically your wheels don't always have their axles parallel to the ground, but they do when they are in contact with the ground...Still questionable.
