Some people prefer to keep the motor wiring consistent (e.g. positive polarity yields clockwise rotation) rather than make the speed controller values consistent (e.g. higher numbers yield faster forward travel). I'm sure the software running that robot in the past properly accounted for the need to reverse that motor's control.

The WPI library has a place to say "please invert this motor" in the drivetrain definition. That's probably all you need to do.
