'''J. Andre Bardin''', more commonly known online under the moniker '''Radio F Software''' (frequently abbreviated as '''RFS''' and now known as '''Dracophile'''), was one of the most influential personalities in the Robot Arena 2 AI development community for creating the self-titled [[RFS AI Pack]]. He is also known as being the first (and last) [[AceUplink]] staff member to be fired and was also the owner of [[RFSHQ]], a website community which outlived nearly every other Robot Arena 2 community on the Internet (February 12th, 2004 - June 22, 2008 although it is still online today).

==History==

==History==

In July 2008 RFS, now under his pseudonym "Dracophile", outed himself as a "half-member" of the furry fandom, apologized to his audiences for lying to them for four years, and retired from his position as RFSHQ's lead writer. He has mostly vanished online and blended back into the original communities he came from. His various backwards and shady antics committed during his stay in the Robot Arena 2 community have left him mostly unwelcome from many of the communities he burned bridges with over the years.

As of January 2010 he announced plans to complete the final "V1.7" installment of the RFS AI Pack (now called the RFS Dracophile AI Pack where "RFS" is marked out). There is no official word on the total number of teams being added to the pack, but it is confirmed that stronger versions of both the original Robot Arena and Robot Arena 2 will make appearances as well as a "second chance" team devoted to decent designs that never made it to the previous packs.

[[Image:MewtwoSM.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Radio F Software (now Dracophile), 2010]]Originally slated to be an AI pack that featured non-stock components, this idea was scrapped in favor of a fair all-stock AI pack meant to showcase creative, modern, and realistic designs that could be taken out of the Robot Arena 2 game and built in real life if desired. The original installment of the pack featured the standard fare of 45 robots and was otherwise unmentionable; it made no serious impact on the community and was pleasantly well-received. Through some creative code-editing with the help of [[TheDisturbedOne]], two follow up packs were made that expanded the limits of the original AI from 3 bots per team to 6 and 15 teams to 30, making the final tally 180.

Despite the simplistic and often whimsical designs the massive expansion marked a turning point in the customization of the game's AI, allowing future AI pack creators (such as [[Starcore]]) to further explore and cultivate the new found "territory". For further information on the AI pack please see its full article.
