The Mechanum wheels are driven, the chains drive sprokets on the ball differential, between the sprockets are steel balls that are inside a round flange with holes for the balls. The flange is attached to the drive shaft with the omni wheels. Pictures are on our wesite http://www.team1322.org/ideas.htm
