The problem with sumo is that often the dumb, big drone will win over the small, clever design. There's no incentive to build a compact, well-thought out drone using fewer parts because mass is a huge factor in a drone's ability to remain inside the ring. Constraining a drone's participation to a 'weight' class (number of parts) would open the field for a greater variety of drone designs.
EDIT: A minimum number of parts would also prevent things like this. What exactly is the criteria for the drones that are drawn as opponents in a tournament? What about those selected to 'guard' a planet in exploration mode?
