Bill's advice regarding a ratio change mirrors the advice you provided. I respect that you gave the team options, but swapping the drive ratio is the most straightforward fix for this team at this time. They can triage *why* their drive failed to turn later; for now, it's probably more important that they get a machine working so they can continue testing other systems.

They're also likely to have chain and sprockets around from years passed. They may not have other wheel options and moving gearboxes or CoM around is a ton of work.
