Opp-robots bid 1♠ - 2♠. I overcall (without checking the bubble) 3♠ which robot believes to mean 25+HCP forcing and jumps to 6NT... well, lovely idea, but this seems a strange understanding... how can I possibly have 25 points if both opps speak.... :)

Robots play Michaels directly over the opponent's opening bid, but obviously not after a raise. I'm not sure I'd take your bid as Michaels myself, although I wouldn't expect it to be 25 HCP, either.

IMHO Michaels seems a sensible way to play that sequence. If it had gone 1S-2(not S) you could bid 2NT, so then it's less clear.

25 HCP is slightly insane - even if it wasn't michaels, but just a "strong hand", 17 or 18+ seems a more sensible range.
