Actually... it isn't. That one (and the other link, too) have wheels on the corners. 330's psuedo-crab has only 6 points of contact with the floor, and they're all in the picture. Yep, 6 drive wheels, no corner supports.
I'm 90-100% certain that it won't be used again, as it relied on one thing: the trailer. If the trailer wasn't there, it would simply be a really, really big turret! With the trailer on the outside frame, it turned into a pseudo-swerve.
I can't speak for 330 on their thoughts, as I don't know said thoughts very well.
