Can you describe in more detail this method? I am having trouble visualizing what you mean.

A set of idler wheels...So you have your regular 4 wheel mecanum drive but you add non powered omniwheels of the same size in between the two. That is what I got from it at least. I dont get the mechanics of how it would help though.
