We couldn't replicate the problem in the pits, but eventually discovered that the sticky wheel was ever so slightly out of alignment, causing the planetary gears to stick.

I'm not sure if this is applicable to your banebots transmissions since they have made some design improvements from last year, but they are sensitive to side loading. It could be that during turns you are adding enough twist to the frame that it is causing binding in the transmissions due to an introduced side load on the drive shaft.
Do you mean the wheels would push the transmissions to the point of binding?
