Sorry, I hadn't noted the team number. In 2010, the KOP came with some plastic wheels in addition to the rubber ones. Try swapping your front and back 2 (or your middle 2 if you'd like) with some plastic wheels. The decrease in friction while turning will make the robot turn much more smoothly and might solve your stalling issue.

AM sells the plastic wheels for $12.00 each.
