I just also realized I need to work out the battery as well... anyone know if it's possible to get a smaller battery that's practical for a competition?

How small is small, and what kind of competition are we talking? Is it robot sumo? What's the maximum size for a robot? There are a plethora of options on the internet, but we need a little more definite information before we can help more. And if you don't want to share, google is usually pretty good at giving you what you want.
But for some more sights try:
allelectronics.com (generally filled with random awesome parts)
solarbotics.com (they carry a bunch of excellent parts specifically for small robots)
