In the spring of 2004 [[DarkRat]], [[Starcore]] and [[Lu-Tze]] had reached the point where they had considered leaving [[RA2]]. [[DarkRat]] was the premier replica bot creator and parts creator, [[Lu-Tze (Forum Member)|Lu-tze]] the innovative parts and arena maker, and [[Starcore]] the to AIer of the community having just released the [[Starcore]] V2 pack. As a swan song [[Starcore]] brought the three of them together to do a final release. To wrap an ultimate pack around [[DarkRat]]'s ultra cool replicas of Real Life robots. Most of [[DarkRat]]'s bot at the time were only picture bots. [[Starcore]] with some help from [[ACAMS]] and a few others populated the internals of the replicas and [[Starcore]] AIed all the replicas to be the 'Stock' bots of the DSL pack. [[DarkRat]] continued building an extensive range of parts while [[Lu-Tze]] in her final months built most all the arenas of the DSL Total Conversion Mod. The team innovated left and right and worked with the rivaling forums bringing them together to work on more realistic parts and standards for the DSL pack.

[[goose]] took over from Starcore as co-ordinator for DSL 2. The [[BeetleBros]], Clickbeetle and Firebeetle, were the main innovators, backed up by goose, [[Vincent]] and [[ACAMS]]. The brothers added antweight parts, new replicas, new arenas and completely revamped the original Stock AI, creating a new base DSL Stock, with 6 bot teams. They added an antweight team, a team that looked back on Robot Arena 1, and other helpful and innovative new parts. [[Vincent]] created a brand new, spectacular UI. And ACAMS and goose did their behind-the-scenes work as they did for DSL 1. Clickbeetle later released the 2.1 patch, fixing a few minor flaws.

Clickbeetle is currently the only person known to be working on DSL 3, which will feature upgraded replicas, SHW's, a new race mode and a few components/bug fixes. It is uunknown if Firebeetle, goose or ACAMS or anybody else is helping him at this point in time.
