I assume this is your first robot. In my 30 years of robot building I have made the same mistake as you about 10 times. Rebuilding the bot is one way to correct the problem but there are usually many solutions to a problem. Some of the novel solutions open new paths to explore. If you have the code you can do a global replacement. Read through the code and simply remap the servo IDs. If you put servo 3 were servo 4 should be, change 3 to 4 throughout the code. If you are lucky there is a global replace in the edit function.

Keep plugging. Robotics is a fascinating hobby software, mechanics, art, electronics it has a lot to offer. Fixing your mistakes is half the fun. Please keep us informed of your progress.
