Please decide: Is "forward" positive, or negative? Pick one and STICK WITH IT. eg: In your NI Robotics module, Positive drive on motors run Forward.

I don't understand... These two statements appear to be conflicting. I was simply stating that since I can't address the underlying issue (forward != positive) that the next best thing I could do is be consistent. Since I can't choose forward == positive, I'm forced to choose forward == negative. "Sticking with it" is precisely what I'm trying to do.

In the future we can try to flip everything around and solve the issues that creates, but for now, is consistency not the best option?
