move when the speed bars are pressed depends on the state selected with the
MAN/HALT button. Press the speed bars with your left thumb. Pressing the speed bars
near the outer ends will move the robot faster; pressing the speed bar near the center will
move the robot slower. See page 144 for details on positive and negative directions.
