Arduino Robot Motor core accidentally overriden

Question

Emmm..I am supposedly to plug the USB cord to the top port, but I accidentally plugged it to the bottom port. I'm really new (know nothing) on Arduino. I'm trying to upload Robot_Motor_Core from File/Example/Robot_Motor, but the program does not even compile. The error message is as follow:

/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/libraries/Robot_Motor/ArduinoRobotMotorBoard.cpp: In member function 'void RobotMotorBoard::_refreshMotorAdjustment()':

/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/libraries/Robot_Motor/ArduinoRobotMotorBoard.cpp:256: error: 'TRIM' was not declared in this scope

Now I am just panicking because even the Robot_IR_Array_Test does not even compile as well. The error message is here:

Robot_IR_Array_Test.ino: In function 'void loop()':

Robot_IR_Array_Test:22: error: 'class RobotMotorBoard' has no member named 'readIR'

Any advice???? How to set the Arduino robot back to default??

did you actually flash over the bottom board with something. And want to flash it back to what you think it should be? — mpflaga
@mpflaga I plugged into the bottom board and uploaded a random file. Now the entire robot doesn't even move anymore. I just want to restore the original bottom file. — windweller

The above problems appear to be with the IDE and not the robot. A brute force method of making a new directory with a fresh install or unzip of the IDE should fix the errors. And or a reboot or restart of Java.
