I don't see a way to get events for when a roboport spawns a robot. This would help a lot for tracking active robots without doing very expensive full map scans.

What's the utility of such an event?

If this event existed, I would use it for a mod I would like to make that gives construction bots personal shields/weapons.

I think you can get basically the same thing using a created_effect script trigger.

Thanks for telling me! I'll see what I can do.
