Stephen didn't quite say it strongly enough: both mecanum and Killough are holonomic drivebases. The analysis and programming are the same for mecanum and for the AndyMark product you're asking about.

(I myself usually reserve the name "Killough" for a holonomic platform using a specific kind of dual wheel, though many people will apply it to omniwheel platforms as well.)
