Can you give us a little more info?

1. What is the Left/Right distance between the wheels?
2. In the side veiw, how many wheels can we see and what is the distance between axles (sounds like there are 3 but please confirm and also it is possible that the middle wheel is not in the middle of the other two axles so -- share that too if need be)?
3. Are the axles all in a line or are some lower than others (if so how much)?
4. Are all wheels the same or are they different?
5. Are all wheels and CIMs on one side all mechanically connected (rotating one wheel or motors rotates all the wheels and all the motors)? If not explain what wheels and motors are connected to what other wheels and motors.
6. What is the ratio between the Motors and the CIMs?

A side view picture of the chassis would be helpful.

The good news is that you have time. Many teams discover they can't turn when the get in their first practice match. You've got a lot of time to fix this.
