Doesn't look like it would offer much resistance to that.
He explained it in his first post. If you can imagine, there are four treads, at each edge of the robot. So if someone pushes you from the side, the front/back treads should resist somewhat, in theory the system, if made, should be better at torque that the OMNI wheel drives.



Just a suggestion, instead of having 4 treads, why not have 2 treads on each side, and one in the middle(which intersects the turning center). This way if you need to implement the drive on a robot that herds or uses its back or front for other things, you will be able to fairly easily use the same concept. On a side note, this will make the robot more vulnerable to pushing.*Just a random thought*
