 These relate to a robot's **six degrees of freedom** (about its three principal axes), as we discussed above. These topic messages are therefore formatted to give a ROS Programmer the ability to *ask* a robot to move in any one of its six DOFs.

 As we also learnt above though, our TurtleBots can only actually move with **linear** velocity in the **x**-axis and **angular** velocity in the **z**-axis. As a result then, only velocity commands issued to the `linear.x` (Forwards/Backwards) or `angular.z` (Yaw) parts of this message will have any effect.
