You never know where a winning idea can come from:

Looks like he might be a Sydney local, since it's reported he is enrolled at UNSW for an Engineering degree.
Just a warning - he apparently used an Arduino...

I can totally see that replacing windows cleaners.
Could maybe have been done with a crawler of some type too, has anyone ever done that?
EDIT: Yep, it has:
I can picture a drone based system being too loud.

Sagan's gotten a lot bigger than I remember!
. Would be neat to see him there one day, but I'll stop talking about things that aren't really my business, I'm just here for that joke.
I've got 3 years, time to beat him.
