An anonymous Make subscriber writes in with this wonderful Don Quixote robot. It even comes with it's own creation story:
I, Don Quixote of La Mancha, hereby introduce my Solar Powered Horse "Rocinante" (Rocín in Spanish means:- work-horse or low-quality horse ("nag") - ante means:-to go forward). He started out as a 6 pieces of Balsa Wood which the carpenter no longer needed. His legs come from the Blacksmith in the local village - (he donated 6 spokes off his racing steed). From the towns Alcamist came the photovoltaic cells (photo means light - voltaic means voltage). The Clock-Smith afforded me 6 cogs on approval (to be recycled pending wear and tear).
I think of ante as before, as in it was a nag before, but now is a great stead worthy of a knight.
