As Daniel says, you're going to be fighting quite an uphill battle trying to repair those. I think you have two options:
1. Beg, borrow, or buy any black or grey jaguars off of teams that are near you.
2. Switch to VexPro Victor 884 Speed Controllers. There's loads of teams that swear by them anyways, and they're $10 cheaper than Jags. If you're not using the advanced functionality of the Jaguars, these will work atleast as well for you.
CD swap shows someone with victors offering them to us. check him out. No jaguars listed, but you could enter a NEED for them if you like. I don't know if we have unused ones in our chaotic "storehouse".

I second the need for determining how to prevent reverse polarity disasters by figuring out how it happened. It's an uphill struggle to convince the team members that I'm not seeking a blame target. It's been rare or absent in their lives so far.
