Because we all know how great Archimedes screws are at generating lift...
This is speculation but from pictures of the field and intuition from past games I'm fairly confident that they are using a photo sensor to count the rotations of the gear from the spokes going past the sensor. If this were the case the direction of rotation would not matter.
