I have a feeling they're using a game pad. Not too many joysticks have over 3 axes (X,Y, Throttle, Twist are the most common I know of). Good catch though, you might have caught something.

That's very common if you wire your motor controllers with red motor lead going to M+ and black motor lead going to M-. All this does is invert the output. Probably not a mistake.
