The thing you need is a gyro and a lot of trig. Do a lot of theory before-hand and try to simplify it as much as possible.
Do lots of testing. A co-processor may not be out of the question for this.
[edit]I believe both 67 and 190 (I know 190) used mecanum wheels, which are slightly different than omni-wheels.[/edit]

67 has actually never used mechanum that I know of, but they did build a crab in 2005. Not sure if that was driver-centric, but I do know that they almost filled all the code space with drive code, so I would imagine it was...
I would think that you'd run into problems with drift after awhile, but not sure if it would be < 3 minutes.
