IMPs, ACBL robot individual

Perhaps its been coincidence rather than cause-and-effect, but I have found that one of the few times that the robot has led my bid suit has been when I've doubled a cue bid of my suit. However, the robot has seemingly developed (or I've just noticed) a bug that counteracts this strategy by treating the double of my own suit as an invitation to bid a new suit - even when we've already agreed on one. Twice in two days the robot has pulled such a double to a new suit (once, as I've mentioned, after the robot had raised my suit). In the case of the display hand, I myself took my medicine in 3♣, which went for "only" 150 (2♠ goes down 2 on a ♥ lead). However, I've provided an example of what happens if South tries to correct. I find the notes on North's raise to 4♥ particularly entertaining in terms of the challenge of figuring out how the robot got itself close to 8 HCP or 9-14 total points. But, then, no bridge basis for the bid is required - when the robot hangs you, you stay hung.

It's my opinion that this needs attention.
