The '''RFS AI Pack''' is an encompassing name for a trilogy (and soon to be quadrilogy) of supplemental all-stock AI created by [[Radio F Software]] (aka RFS, Dracophile) for the Robot Arena 2 game. It is considered to be a groundbreaking AI pack because the original restrictions of the game allowed only 15 AI teams with 3 robots per team. Throughout the first three installments of the AI pack each one built upon a specific part of the game beginning first with the replacement of the stock AI, followed up by extending the AI allotment of robots to 6 per team, and finally by extended the AI allotment of teams to 30 from 15. 30 teams was decided upon because it was a simple doubling of the existing amount, theoretically the number of teams could go on endlessly so long as it was coded correctly.

The designs featured in the pack, originally released in 2003 and 2004 (V1.0 and V1.2 in late 2003 and V1.5 in early 2004) ranged from moderately well received to indifference. The pack encompassed a number of realistic designs with very few "abuses" of what cannot be constructed realistically should someone have the desire to do so. Many claim this design feature is the pack's biggest shortcoming because of the lack of challenge for experienced and seasoned Robot Arena 2 players, but creator RFS claims this is its biggest strong point because it's marketed towards beginner players who aren't familiar with advanced building levels in the game.
