Do the Robots play a particular system - what system?

Is it possible to require the Robots to play a particular system?

When playing with Robots, is it possible to stop those irritating pop ups suggesting what to play?

yes- they use GIB 2/1- the system is available in the notes on robots.
The popups occur when you mouse over the bid- otherwise should not be seen.

All GiBs are stupid, play their own system, probably 2/1 but with no findings in the middle and often go mad when you stuck for a while.

The GIB system is described here:

It's not possible to request a different system.

There are no popups suggesting what to play. The only popups are the explanations of the robot bids, and how it will understand your bids.

I have seen worse-the robots on the former MSZone were completely hopeless.
They do have their bids-but no imagination. The play is hopeless, though.
Unfortunately, I have seen players who were worse. When I say that a robot plays better, that is a definite statement that their play (to put it politely) needs work.

FYI, after each NABC Online tournament, we have the robots play all the hands. They consistently score in the high 50's, even the basic bots. And unlike the human players, they don't know that it's "best hand" so they don't adjust their bidding/play to take advantage of this.

So while they might not be like experts, they're hardly "stupid".

Do they have some gaping holes in their bidding and play? Of course they do. That's why we update them every few months.

and the explanation in pop-up is often diffrent than Robot's hand

The robots use simulations to sometimes make bids that deviate from the system. That's how they try to emulate human judgement.
