Have you considered just putting pieces of lumber like 2x4s between the rails? Some very well known teams (1114 in 2008 I believe) have done this in the past and it makes for a very rigid system.

Yeah we were going to try it but our electronics and pneumatics are all packed down in there and the respective captains didn't really support my motion to put large pieces of wood through the middle
