Use one of the older RS-232 TI GraphLink cables with a 9-pin null modem adapter. I don't know if TI still makes them, but if not, there's always eBay.
Being something of a TI fanatic myself, I have to say that your idea is absolutely brilliant. The TI-83's built-in facilities for graphing data would be absolutely superb for monitoring a robot's behavior, and the simple programming interface (in TI-BASIC, anyway) would be ideal for quickly creating a working dashboard program.
