Is your drive train 4 omnis and a 5th wheel that comes down to strafe or just omni wheels up front? I couldn't see the back wheels in the video.

We have 4 omnis plus a 5th sideways in a configuration called "Slide Drive." That particular video doesn't really show off our drive train very much, but it is a fully functional holonomic system. There's a video of just the drive train (should be "Slide Drive Test" in the list of other videos on the right) before the elevator was mounted that shows more of the strafing and other cool stuff it can do (which we are still just beginning to figure out).
