With "Last player chooses, cannot build through possible cities", does the last player make the robot build as many connections as the robot can afford, or is it the choice of the last player, how many or how few cities the robot will connect in to?

The rules say "He chooses as long as the robot can pay for them."
So keep choosing until he can't afford any more.

I'm not convinced that is the correct answer. We played that it was up to the individual making the decision. In one of the other special abilities, the robot buys as much as possible. Why would this be the same?

I think the difference is that here the last player can choose which cities the robot will build, whereas under the usual rules the robot always builds to the cheapest city next.
But I do agree that the wording is slightly unclear, and it would be nice to have an official clarification.

Exactly, it's not the same, because if the player chooses expensive connections, the robot will build few cities, if he chooses cheap connections, he'll build a lot of cities.

But it's still vagueness. In our first game the robot started with 100 Electro. And he has bought a plant supplying only one city.
So could the last player force the robot to buy cities on all of its money?

The robot will buy as many cities as he can afford, so in this case the last player chooses more cities as long as the robot can pay for them.
This robot tile forces the real players to keep up with the robot in connecting cities...
