My team experienced a similar problem in that when we powered on, the robot took off. Backwards. At full speed. It turns out that we had not initialized the motor variable to 127 in the program. This means that it defaulted to 0, which translates to full backwards. Now, if you didn't have the victor calibrated properly, it is conceivable that the full reverse light wouldn't come on, and you would continue going backwards until someone played with the controls... just a thought...
