We have tried to stabilize the robot with axles but it still wobbles.

Pictures please?
Preferrably of the “wobble” (a video of that would be nice) and how you used axles.
It also helps to be specific, how does your robot wobble? Where is it wobbling? Etc. The more you give us, the more we can give you.

There could be alot of things causing a woble.check the wheels and axels first.try tightening some screws throughout the robot.ypur robot might also be topheavy so you might have to spread it the weight more evenly.

This is IQ not V5. So no screws to tighten.

First, how did you do this:
that dual motor mount is not supposted to be able to fit there…
To fix your unstableness, I would try bracing the drivetrain by adding a 2x20 beam (or whatever) over here:
This will help keep the wheels from falling off and add stability.
Although for V5 the Purdue SIGBots wiki has a good topic about bracing

Based on the image you provided, the wobble you mentioned is due to a relatively weak frame, especially for the top of your robot (your robot’s frame is lacking some of the supports it needs to be perfectly stable).
To fix this issue, add more plastic beams connecting the parts of your robot. For the gap that seems to be for your catapult’s movement, you can support it by strengthening the existing frame around it.
