I did say I'd do this after doing a Robot Wars Extreme in DSL but I simply don't have the time nor dedication, anymore. So, here's the Robot Wars DSL Edition AI pack:

Features:
A **** ton of replicas and robots made for the Robot Wars Series 8 DSL edition tournament - They are ordered somewhat alphabetically, except that the first 16 or so teams are not ordered at all, as this is an expansion of my AI pack that I was using to host the tournament. It was only after I made this a dedicated AI pack that I decided to alphabetize the bots. The 'extras' are just bots added in after the initial replica folder I was given.
Sumo Arena and Sumo House Robot - The Sumo Arena is included in this AI pack and a house robot provided by Thyrus called 'Sterilizer' is the "official" house robot to fight against in that arena.
515 .bot files in the Robot Designs folder - Most of these are unique bots, some are easter eggs/memes, so be sure to sniff them out and have a laugh or something.
Definitely over 400 replicas - There are 436 files in the 'replicas' folder I was initially sent, so that is what I base this on. A good majority are made by Sonny_Resetti. However, there is no way for me to know who built what, so if you check out the pack and see that yours is in there, be sure to tell me and I'll write you down as a credit.
Jonathan Pearce - I payed JP to voice act for this pack. I take this very seriously.
Music - When you fight in any arena, the '321' music will play.
An absolute cesspit full of components - A **** ton of replicas obviously means a **** ton of components. This pack is not really meant for building, but if you can manage to navigate your way through the bot lab, you should be able to have some fun messing around with all the miscellaneous parts scattered around that I could not be arsed to give the cheatbot2 treatment to.
If you encounter ANY problems, please say so in this thread and I will attempt to sort it out as soon as I can. There's a lot of stuff in this pack, so I can never be sure if all of it is compatible with everyone.

Everyone that entered Robot Wars Series 8 DSL Edition (I cannot be bothered to rattle off all the names, sorry)
Let me know if you feel you should have been credited but you have been left out
Btw, I am fully aware that this is DSL 2.1. The tournament began in 2.1 and I began the pack in 2.1. I'm not dealing with the massive hassle that would come with upgrading to DSL 2.2 because there's no real reason to do so.
Let me know of your experience with the pack, any troubles you've encountered and any easter eggs that you've cleverly found. Thanks, guys.
