Andre Bardin''', aka '''Dracophile''' but more commonly known online under the moniker '''Radio F Software''' (frequently abbreviated as '''RFS'''), was one of the most influential personalities in the Robot Arena 2 AI development community. He is perhaps most well known as being the first (and last) [[AceUplink]] staff member to be fired. He 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).

===AceUplink Era===

During his time spent on AceUplink, RFS quickly learned the [[Python]] programming language as he played the game. He created all of his game modifications during this time period, including the [[RFS AI Pack]] and [[personalized components]]. He was also well known for writing tutorials on how to code AI, edit components, and how to beat AI robots; his efforts gave him the custom rank "The Tutorial Man". In December 2003, [[JFranco]], the webmaster of AceUplink, appointed RFS to work on the [[AceUplink Robot Database]], an online encyclopedia of robotics information. With the stiff request of 1,000 articles, RFS attempted to resign from his position and when permission was denied, he simply stopped working and filled the database with entries of his own robotic creations until his FTP permissions were stripped.

RFS was unceremoniously fired from AceUplink staff in January 2004. His account, banished to the "Pending Validation" group, was the only such validating account to have several thousand forum posts and be listed with the "Super Heavyweight" post rank. For several months after being banned RFS remained the top poster on the forums only to eventually be surpassed by [[AW]].
