Thanks, we were looking at adding a cross brace but I wasn't sure if it will be enough.

Because we had the drop center with strafe when we weren't moving our robot would balance and wouldn't be able to move because the drive wheels didn't have enough traction (our strafe wheel was 3/16" lower than our outside wheels). We solved with by making the front of our Robot ridiculously heavy (battery+ almost all mechanical components). We didn't think we had enough time to put the center wheel on a pneumatic cylinder which is what I would recommend for teams who are looking to do a slide drive. Don't do slide with drop center!
