The west robot is my favourite robot.
Your double implies exactly 3 spades.
The robot prefers clubs.
I suspect the west robot is cross that you didn't support his clubs.
After all, he is telling you he only has 4 spades.
with 4♣ he is telling you that he has 13+ points and a butt-load of clubs - why didn't you bid 5♣?
I bet there were a few harsh words from West after dummy came down.

Just played this hand in Prime.
This time I had the Clubs and West suffered.

I only got 76.7% - someone bid and made 6 Clubs.
I guess when it's clubs, its clubs.

We're only in Jan yet. We still have 11 months in which the robots might find "better" ways to perpetrate even bigger horrors upon us

I suppose I might have had a worse hand than a balanced 12 count with two defensive tricks. Maybe I should have bid a slam.

IMO, in response to WBartley's support double,
the West robot had a difficult rebid.
What is the best 2/1 bid?
Admittedly, 3♣ was peculiar but
4♣ was alerted as 5+ ♣ 4+ ♠ 13+ total points.
