This same thing happened to us and we spent a few hours trying to program around it and found out that with the dashboard it tells you the numerical value of the location of your joystick (.i.e it would display it at 127/127 when in the middle)
You can also use the indicators on the OI to show when the joysticks are zeroed (at 127). This lets you quickly adjust it while the robot is disabled.

Also, you could use the yaw rate sensor (gyro) to correct the robot's path if it isn't going straight.
