i would recommend getting used to the way it is currently instead of changing the default. when i first messed around with the Edu-bot (i forget what they call it now), i noted it to be backwards. However, when you are far away driving instead of "inside" (like a car), it makes life sooo much easier. you want to turn clockwise? push right. counterclockwise? push left. it is more intuitive if you want to turn your robot towards something. also, i THINK if it was set up the other way, if u were counter-rotating (full left or right), and pulled back, instead of slowing, and stopping, one side would have to completely change direction, which is not the smoothest thing for your robot.
