If your team doesn't have a lathe, I strongly suggest you invest in one. Even a cheap small hobby lathe (that's what we use) can do wonders.
We already have 0.251" hole in the VersaChassis shaft (which WCP said was designed for a 1/4" shaft encoder), but that hole is too big, and there isn't enough friction between the shaft on the encoder and the hole in the VersaChassis shaft to make the encoder shaft turn with the axle.
