The electrons don't care what color the insulation surrounding the wire is. Inside a brushed DC motor the electric "pathing" is identical, both "forward" and "backward". Wiring the motor in reverse is not harmful, and has no impact on the performance, as CIMs are designed to go CW (Red-Black/Black-Red) just as efficiently as CCW (Red-Red/Black-Black), but it is bad practice to use the former.
If the leads going into the Jags were wired in reverse, the magic blue smoke monster gods were not frowning on you, which is surprising, because they are not a cheerful bunch.
Perhaps by rewiring the robot you fixed a problem you did not know you were having (like a lose sidecar or D-Link wire)
