I'm used to robots that are wired so that motors on the left side spin in the opposite direction from motors on the right side in order for the robot to go straight. That means when turning in place they all spin the same direction, with the LEDs all the same color.
When forward, one side all red, other side all green. Same concept for reverse, just colors swap. Not sure if robot actually turns because we disconnected all the power leads to the motors while we are figuring this out just in case we ran a program that made 2 victors on the same side run opposite of each other.
