Kiwi is a nickname for something properly called a "Killough" drive platform, named for its inventor. I think it was first described in the literature in the late 1990s.
An early application in FRC essentially didn't have any fancy computer software making it work. The driver used three joysticks, arranged in the same orientation as the wheels, and connected with a Y-shaped yoke, to directly control motor power.
