    Nah you can't stop em with the robots.txt, only the "good" robots care about it.
    But you can make an image verification, that will stop most of them.
    If you tell us where they are registering (which application), we might help you better ;)

    yup image verification will stop most of them, better known as Captcha

    Presumably they also come from the same ip every time so you could edit your htaccess to deny that specific ip. I would say the robots.txt file is the easiest and most concise method though!

    A statistic program will tell you everything.
    And how to block IP's you will find with the forumsearch.

    You can block IPs with a .htaccess file

    Something like this:
    
    order allow,deny
    allow from all
    deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    
    Code (markup):

    You can add as many "deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" lines as you want.

    All you need to know are the IP addresses you want to block.
