JackBos Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hi three quick support type questions about BBO Prime: 1. I heard there are quick/weak and slow/strong robots on BBO. Which ones are on BBO Prime? 2. Can u invite a non-Prime member to practice with you against robots or do they also need to have Prime membership? 3. Robots seem to use SAYC 2/1. How do they react if you use a different system playing against them? For example, I want to practice precision with my partner, I don’t mind if the Robots use SAYC 2/1. Will it be gibberish or do they understand you may be playing a different system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilowsky Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 In what sense are they free Barry? Where do I apply for my rebate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 In what sense are they free Barry? Where do I apply for my rebate?You just open a table in the Prime Club and you're allowed to put robots in seats without having first purchased a rental. There's no rebate if you already purchased them, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilowsky Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I already paid by purchasing Prime, so yes and no, btw, I know that most of us are in there practising with robots, but it would be nice to have some way of communicating in the Prime club so as to set up an ad hoc Tourney at MP's or IMPS. At the moment its all rather sterile. Even a rolling Leader board or something might add a little spice. Perhaps on an opt-in basis? Over to you.

Normally you would have to pay $1/day to rent advanced robots. Of course you have to pay for membership in the club to get its benefits.btw, I know that most of us are in there practising with robots, but it would be nice to have some way of communicating in the Prime club so as to set up an ad hoc Tourney at MP's or IMPS.

Over to you.When you're at a table you can use Chat->Club to send messages to other players at Prime club tables. But I don't think it will go to members who aren't at tables. We're planning on adding more features to Prime, feel free to post suggestions in the Suggestions for Software forum. We want this to be a useful service.
