@Leogeek24 @BOSS:

I must assume you are using a Spike type thing, because then if so there most definitely is.

The relay (at least the spikes) Flip their output polarity when given that certain command. Someone correct me if Im wrong

If you look at the relay.direction stuff, there is like kReverse and kForward or something along the lines of that.
