It seems to me the transmissions being dry may be the biggest problem.

Secondly, can you turn the traction wheels by hand? (you should be able to, we can) If you can't maybe its the way you mounted the wheels?? I haven't seen wheels mounted that way before(not saying its bad, its just different for me) and may cause a "brake pad" effect... although you said no problems with driving striaght... how well can you drive backwards?? if you are turning like normal skid steering, then maybe thats what is cause the problem.

Hope it gets fixed and good luck!

It should be noted that the omnis also spin freely, and all the rollers spin freely as well.

The wheels can be turned fairly easily, but we avoid forcing the wheels to prevent damage to the electronics On second thought, we never tried spinning the ungreased transmissions. Thanks, as soon as we get our hands on our robot were gonna try some greased up transmissions.
