Without knowing how you have your motors wired I cannot tell you whether or not you need to invert them.

I can tell you this: If your motors are wired so that when you give them a +1 command they go in the "forward" direction, then no inverting is required.

I recommend that you put the robot up on blocks and push the joystick(s) straight forward. If all four wheels spin in the "forward" direction, you're good to go. If not, then invert any motor that is spinning backwards.
