Drive Train Curves Only While Backing Up

I think so -- I'm invoking the RobotDrive.tankDrive(double left, double right) method.

The lights are a solid green when backing up. This is due to the fact that our motors are sort of hooked up backwards -- from the way it was explained to me we would have to swap the negative and the positive wires to fix it in hardware (which is supposedly a big no-no) so I've been compensating for it in programming. Is this what most teams do?
