I dont get it. If you used the kitbot chassis then you have the same chassis we did. Long orientation, 6 kitbot traction wheels, 4 CIM's on toughbox minis as provided in the KOP. Perhaps you didnt notice that the middle hole on the chassis material is off center and you assembled it with the middle axle up? We used, for the first time the entire kitbot chassis and it was strong, reasonably fast and turned on a dime. We seeded 11 in both Wisconsin and Buckeye and made it to finals in Buckeye after being first pick by the first seed. This was, with the belt drive, the MOST BULLETPROOF chassis we have ever used. I am never going back to chains and using onmi's on the ends is just wasting traction.
We had no trouble pushing people around most of the time and having 6 traction wheels made it almost impossible to push us around. The only thing I would change in the future would be to go back to super shifters to give us more speed and power when needed.
Check out you chassis assembly, I bet you have the center axle raised instead of lowered.
