We use Anderson connectors, so we cannot physically insert the connectors together the wrong way. If we've assembled it to connect red to red wires, you cannot physically connect the Anderson connectors so black goes to red without intentionally disassembling and reassembling the connector. This means that if we change the order of the wires to change the direction of the motor, it cannot get accidentally reassembled incorrectly at a later time.

If we're at the point where were actually testing a mechanism for the first time (where this type of thing tends to be an issue), I'd much rather just take 30 seconds to break the Anderson connector apart and switch the leads than spend ten minutes changing the code, recompiling, and rebooting the robot. It may not be the "right" way, but it's a lot faster.
