Happened to our team too. Actually it was more complex. We had two independently driven motors on each side, and just one motor out of four was reversed. Not realizing this, we flipped the entire side, so the other one on that side was now reversed. Then the electronics changed the wiring on the
first one, making the whole side reversed.
Also the drivers once went into a match with the
joysticks backward. He mentioned to me afterward the confusion this caused, and I almost went to fix the direction until he clarified that it wasn't the drive that was reversed.
