Here is the official discussion page for anything Ragnabot 3 related that isn't related to the line-up - the discussion for that can be found here. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 14:27, June 12, 2019 (UTC)

Judges
Before we start Rantnabot, we need to decide on the judges. These will be the judges for both Rantnabot and Ragnabot 3 in full. The judges need to be people who are preapred to vote in every battle for the (most likely) 6-7 months this tournament could take. Who's up for it? J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 14:27, June 12, 2019 (UTC)

Rantabot format
There are a nice 16 antweight robots, which means we can play with the format a bit. Do we want to do it as just a simple head-to-head knockout tournament, or add some melees in there? Maybe Four 4-way melees with 1 or 2 winners, leading into a knockout tournament after that? Discuss below. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 14:27, June 12, 2019 (UTC)

Any planned blogs?
I'm asking this to give people time to come up with a fun subject.

Last Ragnabot, CrashBash ran a great blog comparing each robot's finishing position to their performance in Ragnabot 1 called For Better or For Worse. I kept track of the biggest scalps of each round with the RIP in Pieces award. I plan to run this again, and I'm sure Crash will be interested in doing the same again. But this is a call for anyone else who wants to keep track of something, make predictions or whatever. Discuss any ideas you can think of. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 14:27, June 12, 2019 (UTC)

Awards
The Ragnabot 3 awards will be run again at the end of the tournament. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 14:27, June 12, 2019 (UTC)

Sweepstake
Once we reach the Quarter-Finals stage, I will do a Sweepstake draw again. Before that there's no point. If someone wants to run a 1-robot sweepstake in their blogs from the start though, that could be fun! J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 14:27, June 12, 2019 (UTC)
