Well, they decided that they didn't want to lose any pushing power because they used mecanums, so they orientated the wheels at 45 degrees so that all of the force would be going straight forward and backwards. In regards to the belt, they originally planned on having 6 seperate gearboxes, but once they realized that their way of mounting the wheels made it so that all the wheels would always be running in the same direction, they got rid of 4 gearboxes and belted the wheels together in order to save weight.
