I think this could be called a kiwi drive, or maybe just a holonomic drive if it turns out that kiwi drive only refers to drives with three omni wheels.

Kiwi refers to 3 IIRC. Holonomic drive or omni drive is enough to describe it I think.
Nice work! What drove your design to put electronics up top? Even if you do that, I recommend putting the battery down low to lower the center of the mass.

Being from the team that coined the name "kiwi", I really only consider it for 3 wheels. (Though since this chassis is approximately round and not a rectangle, I can see the case being made that it's a 4-wheel kiwi)
