I'm not particularly sure what the software team did, its possible that they set a cap on the motor output speed (such as setting 75% as a max for the motor controllers).

The speed you have on your speed controller's will never help you with torque. You WILL NOT have enough torque to turn your wheels, and decreasing the current won't help that. You need to change your gearing. Have you tested your drive train? If not I would HIGHLY suggest it.
My team had direct driven Macanum's (6in from CIMple boxes) in 2011 and we could only drive forward/backwards and turn, we couldn't strafe because we didn't have enough torque to turn the wheel opposite to eachother. PLEASE CHECK YOUR DRIVE NOW!!! Before it's too late and you're a sitting potato on the field.
