Driving Straight Error

Hey guys. So we have had this problem with driving straight for a little while, but it appears to be getting worse and worse. Our bot is the kit of parts chassis, which is wired with encoders, as well as a gyro. When ever we attempt to go straight the bot veers to one side, and doesn't veer to the same side all the time.

When we run the robot at half of the max speed, the bot drifts towards the left. Here is video of the robot doing this.

When we run the robot at full speed, the bot starts to veer to the right. Here is video of the robot going at full speed.

In both videos, we have used code to eliminate getting the x-axis values on the joystick and to solely move forward. We were wondering if any teams had this problem, and if anyone knows how to possibly correct this. Any help is appreciated.
