I did a little online research and found a website that claims the "omni-wheel"
has been around since 1910, and the people who built the robot were nowhere near
90 years old. It's been a few years since I saw that episode, but I think it
must have either been a misunderstanding on behalf of the Robot Wars staff, or
the kids who built the robot might have mistakenly believed they'd invented
something new and applied for a patent (which would almost assuredly have been
rejected). So I guess that guy was right when he said that everything that
could possibly be invented already has... ;P
