I did it both ways, and got the same results(the order, not in exact speed). I
think that the motors are 'tuned' in some way, because random error cannot
occur 100% of the time. All motors went slower with the cable turned or the RCX
on 'Reverse', all of the time the when 'Forward'.

   Did you reverse the motors by issuing the "Reverse" command on the
RCX or by flipping the motor leads 180 degrees?  In the first case,
the observed slowing could easily be a property of the solid-state
polarity switching circuitry in the RCX, where the second case would
necessarily indicate an inherent property of the motor itself.

   Interesting experiment, though!
