Changing The Battery Warning Voice?

I am building a BB8 and everything is going fine, however I was wondering if there was a way to change the "battery is low" warning. Having BB8 suddenly speak really ruins the whole effect.

Pull up RealTerm or similar, set the 19200 baud rate, and power up the RAPU. Console shows the...

Assembly Instructions

Step 1 of the instructions cover connecting the H-Bridge to the digital ports, but make no mention of which pin of the three pins per port (Black, Red, White) to connect to nor do they mention the red/black pair connection. The next lesson describes in detail how to make all these connections. Shouldn't the "Connecting Roli's Motors (H-Bridge)...
