I think it's unlikely to get a good hit on another ant; it is still very hard to control and not very stable, so most people will likely just drive round behind it and knock it over, which'll be rather boring. If it does get a lucky hit though it will be spectacular :D

I never really liked Lump; it worked well, but was boring and unoriginal... So I swapped out the flipper with something more in keeping with my slightly mad style:

It's only not quite done so yet, but it's eventually going to be a lifter-grabber thing made from an old coat hanger.
It's the same mechanism as used in Chomp, but I only realised this after I'd come up with design, so although not completely original, it's still more so than a boring flipper...

Picks up ants quite nicely, but still needs a lot of fine tuning and trimming before it can be let loose..

Awesome! Reminds me a lot of Tetanus 2 from Robot Wars. Looks very good indeed!
