Two speeds of lift

Looking to see what it’s like to program one speed for lift to say, buttons 5d and 5u and a “softer” speed to the 6d 6u buttons. Do we need encoders? Could someone give us a little sample code? Thanks in advance!

Use a series of conditional statements that test the buttons and set the lift motor(s) accordingly.

#pragma config(Motor,  port1,           liftMotor,     tmotorVex393_HBridge, openLoop)

task main()
{
    while(1) {
      if( vexRT Btn5U ] ) {
        motor liftMotor ] = 127;
      }
      else
      if( vexRT Btn5D ] ) {
        motor liftMotor ] = -127;
      }
      else
      if( vexRT Btn6U ] ) {
        motor liftMotor ] = 70;
      }
      else
      if( vexRT Btn6D ] ) {
        motor liftMotor ] = -70;
      }
      else {
        motor liftMotor ] = 0;
      }

    wait1Msec(20);
    }
}
