Just a heads up, I think you have your wheels on wrong. Supposedly it compromises the performance when they are in this orientation. From the top they should make an "X" pattern.
It actually makes it impossible to turn in place if they are on wrong. When configured improperly, the individual forces from each wheel are applied along lines nearly intersecting the axis of rotation resulting in little or no torque to turn the robot.
