Could we get more details on the drivetrain? Specifically the following:

Length between wheels?
Width between wheels?
Type (KOP, roughtop, wedgetop, etc.) and size (6", 8", etc.) of all 4 wheels?
Motors? (eg. 2CIMS, 4CIMS, etc.)
Gearbox ratio?
Sprocket ratio between gearbox and wheels?

If you are running a 4 wheel drive with all traction wheels that is much longer than it is wide you may be drawing enough current to draw the battery down to a very low voltage. Can you see what the battery voltage is doing on the Driver Station when this behavior occurs?
