Kind of a stupid one, actually, but... is there a *name* for the type of locomotion that this robot uses?

Holonomic Drive ?
its called holonomic drive
Holonomic is a little generic. A synchro drive is holonomic also.
Since it uses omni wheels, I would just call it omni drive.
--Hey that's a neat bot! Omniwheels are pretty awesome devices but this is the cheapest platform for them that I've seen in a complete kit. Might have to snag one...
Note that the platform mentioned has changed from transwheels to omniwheels. I built something similar with those transwheels, and it doean't move as nicely as I'd hoped. I'll upgrade to omniwheels now.
