Our mini-CIM did the same thing, it ended up cracking the top plate of the mini-cim... we are going to try it with it super bolted down and it supported from more spots...

I imagine you're using the pneumatic wheels or something like them to shoot as our team is doing... make sure you align the motors properly, center them, and balance them, plus check to make sure the wheel is actually on right (we found that one of our wheels wasnt on correctly and so we had to shave the inside (rubber) down to make it match
