On his LEGOstudio Model Gallery, ISOGAWAYoshihito posted his cool Lego Technic OMNI WHEEL CRAB with several detailed pictures so you could possibly make your own:

Cute and clever, as usual... I wonder how it is controlled, omniwheel vehicles are not easy to control with a 4 sticks remote... Maybe a NXT + IR-link?

The

of aeh5040's "Lobster" Lego Technic Mecanum Wheel Car shows how one can use two Power Functions remotes. His Lobster Building Instructions show those remotes too:

Agreed, but aeh5040's includes a bunch of differentials to make control easy, something that doesn't exist (as far as I can see) in Isogawa's crab. Controlling each wheel separately is tricky (but then I tend to be all thumbs ;)
