They'll be more able to find the problem easily than you are, because they don't think "Oh, that's normal" on something that might not be right.

If I could, I would print this out on wallpaper and cover the entire shop with it. OP, don't just check your wiring, check the wires themselves. You could have brownouts due to frayed wires or sketchy splicing. Check that you don't have motors fighting each other, and try replacing the motors, one at a time. My rule of thumb is that, if you can't put all of your weight into the connections on your robot, they're not good enough. I guarantee you that it is possible to make an entire electrical system that meets these standards; we do it every year.
