Robot going backwards!

Are you sure that removing the code to invert the motors didn't change the robot direction? You can also change the sign of the computed robot speed in the code and that should also flip the direction.

The use of the arcade vs. tank functions don't stick, they just set the speeds at that moment based on the parameters passed.
