The following footnote was added
The parts included with RIS 1.5 are slightly different than those in RIS 1.0. If you're building Hank using RIS 1.5, you should use two bushings instead of the green pieces in Step 2.

The following footnote was added
Minerva uses almost all of the gears that come with RIS 1.0. Unfortunately, RIS 1.5 comes with fewer gears (five 12t gears instead of eight). To get the extra gears you'll need for Minerva, you can order the #5229 Gears & Differentials parts pack from the LEGO Shop At Home Service, (800) 453-4652. Cost is $4.50 including shipping.

In _The Unofficial Guide to LEGO MINDSTORMS Robots_, we should change the source code a little to make the
programs work better. The programs that use the IR port should set it to long range mode. On p. 151, that means
adding a line to the code just after the main() line:
task main() {
SetTxPower(TX_POWER_HI);
SetSensor(SENSOR_1, SENSOR_LIGHT);

This same change should also be made to the RoboTag program, on p. 188. This time, we'll stick it in the initialize()
subroutine, like this:
sub initialize() {
SetTxPower(TX_POWER_HI);
SetSensor(BUMP_SENSOR, SENSOR_TOUCH);
