The velocity vectors can add up so that the speed of the robot is greater than the speed that any individual wheel is driven. The issue is that with the number of rollers providing resistance to this motion, I find it unlikely that those two motors could achieve a significantly greater speed than one in which all three motors are providing drive force in the desired direction. The only way to know for sure is to build it.
