Make sure it's shifted in the same direction on all your channels. The correct direction is probably down, which puts the rest of the holes closer to the top of the frame.
My oh my that would do it. We'll check that tomorrow.

@aeniug2: we are making a ball collection facility, so we opened the front side of the drive train chassis up to allow the ball to pass through. So, we cut out the front of the robot. That said, it compromises the integrity of the robot to a moderate degree as you no longer have a full square chassis to build the robot on top of. Does that make any sense?
