I don't know about UP and Right robin, I nudge my ota gently north or south to see which direction is needed to return the star to the center. If I need to move the scope north then the mount needs to be turned east. If South then the scope needs to go west. There no correlation between the distance moved but the faster the star moves off the center of the reticle the further you are away from your desired alignment position.
Now the tricky part is as I'm sure your aware is regaining an alignment star in RA direction after you've adjusted the mount. I like to set my RA speed to about 16X so that when I adjust the Az control I can use the hand controller to keep the star in the field of view. That way I don't have to search for another star.
