That could give you problems with a strict robot inspector. Wiring must comply with the color coding rules. Yes, you can tape over the entire motor lead, but this only simplifies your code, it doesn't eliminate bias. As long as the motors are oriented 180 degrees apart one has to travel in the opposite direction to the other to move in the same relative direction.
