Body: <p>New to EV3 so this should be simple. I would like my simple wheeled robot to go backwards. So I put two invert motor blocks, one for port B the other for port C followed by a move steering block. The motors ran forwards! I then tried an invert motor black followed by a large motor block and that worked just fine. Does invert motor not work with move steering or am I missing something obvious?</p>
