The CIM motors don't have significant bias. They'll run the same speed in both directions. If you're reversing the motor direction for the other side of the robot by swapping the wires, the speeds should match well.
However, the Victor speed controllers
do appear to have an asymmetric response around the defined neutral value of 127. If you're accounting for the need to reverse the motor direction in code, you'll probably notice this. When we tested things last year, true neutral seemed to be closer to 132.
