I think Wildstang built a 3 wheel holonomic back in 2001 or 2002. They didn't use it in competition, they just distributed a really cool video (as Raul and those guys tend to do). If they got that thing to work on one of those old PBASIC Stamps, so it shouldn’t require to much processing. Of course they wrote StangPS on a Stamp, so it might require a lot of processing.
