Basically, yes. The omni-wheels are mounted at 120° angles ot the center of the robot. BTW, if you would like to see a video of one of these in action, here is a video of a kiwi drive robot from Team 857 in 2002.

So what's up with 10WD+?

I think we'll end up with 12 wheels, but only 6 will be powered.

Meh who needs wheels, we are using legs. No not really, we will most likely use a 6wd system.
