"When the Martians take over the world, we, the dumb earthlings who could not do anything, will build a robot by whoever is the smartest and thus obliterate the evil Martians by sending them back to where they belong --- the garbage bin."
This sentence have both an adverb, adjective, and a noun clause. So is this a sentence: Yes or No?

I would call that a run-on sentence. The part about "by whoever" is also very clumsy to read or say. Try to break it into two sentences and re-write that part. Hyphens are used to accent something, like exclamation marks. Try doing this "where they belong, the garbage bin!"

nope, is not
when the martians take over the world
is a dependent clause, and is not correctly connected to the rest of the sentence (need an "and, also, because, etc.)

It is a sentence. It is a run on sentence though. You could make your idea come through clearer by making more than one sentence.
