10 at the beginning (as seen in the examples) and then 5 at the beginning
of the loop (in the loop) and once more at the end of the loop (still in
the loop) just after setting the speed.  If I don't do the 5, then I get a
huge lag between setting and receiving the correct value.  However, I
stress the robot does follow instruction immediately in the simulator, that
it is only in getting the value, which stay unchanged for a long time.

I haven't tried with a real robot yet.  Will do that today.
