ok. So I got to the meeting a little while ago and I've been looking at our drive system for awhile. After a little head scratching I have come to the conclusiong that both motors are spinning in the same direction when the robot is moving fowards and backwards. Did I mention that we have our motors connected to shafts tha go into our gearboxes and spin the wheel shafts? yeah...

It's not allignment and it's not the gearboxes binding. I took the motors off and put them side by side (we have not removed the clutches, which i previously thought were called transmissions and vice-versa.) One motor (by motor i mean clutch, tranny... the whole assembly) spins more freely than the other, and each has had the pins removed from the clutches. So... either we now take the motors apart again to see which component is stiff, or we go out and try to buy another motor.

So does anyone know something about the motor assemblies that makes them stiffen and/or loosen, and a way to correct these deviations? eh?
