The problem with negitive numbers is that unless they make it so that -127 is the new full-reverse number, then it will totally screw up your robot. Think of it this way:

127 = Full Forward

0 = Nothing (stopped)

-127 = Full Reverse

This above would have to be the new way to control the speed of your robot.

Note: This is how our controls specialist (I think you can call him) told me about the speed.
