The Jags that control both motors (tested individually) are both sending a positive voltage to the motors. The motors are wired identically. When each Jag is given the same control (via pwm), one drives the wheels forward and the other drives the wheels backwards.
We're at the point where we think that one of the motors is actually wired backwards internally.
Any ideas as to what's going on?

Which motors are these? CIMs?
people have reported random polarity designations on the BaneBots 775, but I haven't heard of it happening on a CIM before.
Where did you get the motors from?
