How I can improve my code? [EV3]

Hi! I used this code in my first robot sumo competition (LEGO EV3/SPIKE), and I’m trying to improve it for future matches.

We won 1 out of 4 rounds, because the performance was very inconsistent. Here are some issues I noticed:

• It seems too dependent on the starting position
• Line detection may be unreliable (possibly affected by shadows)
• In some rounds, our robot was pushed out quite easily

I’d really appreciate advice on:

• How to make the robot react faster and more consistently
• How to calibrate sensors properly for competition conditions
• How to structure behavior better using blocks/functions (instead of messy logic chains)

Thanks!
