build a basic featherweight rambot and learn how these larger weight classes work. if you still want to build a flipper you can use drive and batteries from your rambot in your flipper by the what budget are you working with? featherweights are alot more expensive than ants!
how much did it cost.
are there any vids of it in action.
hmm, how was that made? cast aluminium cracks easily. it also looks very heavy and probably a pain to adapt for robot use. i'd recommend using hdpe, it's light, easy to work with, cheap, and can be cut easily using a jigsaw
...I dread to ask, but what is that and why was it on fire for an hour?

Anyway yeah i agree with pretty much everything that's been said here, start basic, a rammer or something simple. you can always adapt it later. also i urge you to drop that chassis (not literally) and trade it for something like HDPE, there's a page about it on my website.
