Do you have pictures of your sumo? Maybe we could recommend some improvements.
Over the past several years, I have had many interesting email conversations with mini sumo builders from Romania. I suspect some of your competition has been taking advantage of the information that I have posted about my mini sumo, ExSpurt. brooksbots.com/ExSpurt.html
ExSpurt is now over five years old, so some of the information may be out of date. I do know that the Maxon motors are no longer available surplus. So several people have started using alternative motors with good success. You will have to do some searches to find out what is available and what others are using.
If you have specific questions, post here or use the email link on my web site.

We don’t really specialize in mini sumo parts. We don’t currently have a controller that can be programmed in C++. Rick is a very competitive sumo builder. I would listen to him!

These bots are fast! That thing might get lucky and win a match, but no way it’s going to do well at all…
