I haven't the slightest clue why anyone would do this though. If you had only a forward speed control it would make it reverse for fairly cheap.

Anyway, for those of you who don't know, what I said above in this post is strictly disallowed on a FIRST competition robot and I make no guarantees regarding the well being of your electronics if you ever try something like this.
