Help
The following sequence took place in a robot race tournament. Could someone please tell me where I went wrong.
W N E S
2s,p,p,dbl (me)
p,3d,p,3nt
p,4h,p,p,p
all vulnerable
Bot is 1,4,5,3 shape with the A of Clubs and A of Diamonds.
I'm 5,2,3,3 with 18 points.
I wanted to stop in 3N, but the bot bids on...

You went wrong in trying to double for penalties.

Yes, the bot always assumes you have your bid. If you want to play 3NT, bid 3NT the first time. Doubling with 5 Spades cannot possibly be right. In addition, you have now doubled and corrected to 3NT! The bot thinks you have at least a 20 count probably. You are lucky the bot didn't bid 6♥

Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

The bot thinks double indicates short spades and probably 4 hearts.
