Remove the tread from the outside wheels.
Also, a tip for later builds - you can drill several holes in those sprockets to remove weight. You can cut 20 - 30% of the weight from them and still get good performance. With 8 on the robot, it can add up to a significant weight savings.

watch your size when you do this. we had our center wheele 3/16 lower, and when it was resting on the front 2 wheeles it fit inside the box, but when it was on the back 2 it was outside by maybe 1/4 inch... our 15 minute solution was attaching a ziptie to the shield and placing it under the back wheel at the begining of competition.
