It was 1998, same year omni wheels were first used in frc by teams 67 and 45 (to my knowledge). 45 also developed the 3 wheel Killough drive. Mecanums were first used in 2005 by 357 and called Jester drive. In 2008 148 developed the 3 wheel swerve.
Cool fact: team 47 (creators of swerve) are the namesake of this forum
NOTE: these points are to the best of my knowledge, I do not claim to be as knowledgeable as Mr. Karthik or Mr. Beatty.
