Below is a picture of our robot.
This is a image showing how it works. The green arrows are the wheels drive speed. The blue arrows show the overall wheel speed. The orange arrows show the compensated speed. The white arrows show the robot speed.
This is a link demonstrating a holonomic robot in action, Holly the holonomic robot. We found this video after state, but before worlds, and thought that the name Holly would be nice for our robot.
This is a link to build our holonomic robot.

This is the robot you will be making
The normal robot that you will see in First Lego League is a differential robot. A differential robot has 2 wheels that drive independently, and one caster to keep it stable. This design is a disadvantage though, because it can only move in 2 ways. Forward/backward, and can rotate.
Our robot is a holonomic robot. It can move in 3 ways. Forward/backward, rotate, AND can move side to side. This gives our robot an advantage, because it can have attachments on all sides. It also helps with the accuracy. Whenever a robot turns it loses a bit of accuracy, but our robot can turn at the minimum, making it more accurate.
