I like how some of it is made out of legos. :)
quite impressive Timendus :)
congrats !

Cool! 
Actually if this robot wasnt for cleaning purpose I think this would end up with a fake news at omnimaga but now I have another idea

Did you paint the 83+? I don't think they make them white

My students did paint the unit, they even gave it an LCD-backlight (
realised by four SMD leds wich ones they took from a broken mobile phone ) and an overclock-no overclock functionality...they become real TI-'tuners', I must say

Well your avatar was the easiest thing I could add to the article at the moment
I might update the article with the other photos and change the article pic......

Cool. I've built a couple of robots, but they were remote controlled, and a bit larger at 3x3 feet and about 150 pounds.
Super Robot of Love:
This robot picked up/pushed around tetris pieces. We somehow got 3rd place ($750) out of 24 entries.
Destructinator:
(I'll post a pic when I get one)
Collected and shot mini basketballs, but mostly destructinated other robots after we had problems with the launcher (pneumatic cylinder bent). We only got about 10th place as a result.

wow, this one is great! You should show more pictures of the other ones you made.

There are a lot of 中国人 or 日本人 in the background, was this contest held in China/Japan ?

This is interesting
About the cleaner-robot, does it figure out "where to go" so that it doesn't clean the same spot 10 times? My friend and I thought a few months ago about building one for fun and we had an idea for letting the robot know where it was in an arbitrary environment and then find "dirty spots" on the way. I never got around to write a simulator for it, but it's on my todo-list.
I built some controlled robots a few years back, although only with Lego. Made semi-automatic bipeds with shifting center of gravity, little vehicles to ascend stairs in funny ways, a robot to twist and turn a Rubik's cube faster than the near-famous JP Brown solver (I didn't have a digicam to record the cube state, so I couldn't write solver software for it). Lately though, I've become a whole lot more interested in thinking and problemsolving to let robots work in human environments, but general programming has taken too much time
