Well, my general advice is to read the FAQ at http://kevin.org/frc/faq.html
in detail.

Are you testing the sensors in the optimal brightly lit, uncluttered room?

Fully charged 7.2v battery?

Another team had the same problem. We discussed it here http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24396. See if any of those ideas help.
