In remote view, try to remove some inventory from the spidertron, no robor come to pick up

Not at the same planet and open the map to remote control one spidertron which carry something in it's inventory, it's in the logistic range of one roboport and yellow box, so when try to remove some inventory from the spidertron by click one item, red cross mark appeared on that item but no robot come to pick up that item. There are several logistic robots stationed in the roboport.

You need construction bots to do that. All remote actions on inventory slots of vehicles, inserter, assembly machines,... are handled by construction bots.

Thanks for the help, but I have construction bots in the spidertron inventory, and the spidertron has personal botport in the grid, they will not work? Actually the original construction bots in that botport had been destroyed by the worm and I just try to use the spidertron to replenish that.

Construction bots specifically can't be delivered by ghost cursor orders. You have to use some roundabout scheme involving trash orders, logistic bots to remove them from the trash and a requester/storage/buffer chest which inserts them into the roboport.

It's not clear why this limitation exists, it seems to be some kind of conflict with some other special construction bot behaviour, maybe as simple as avoiding weird bugs with construction bots attempting to deliver themselves.

Anyway, logistic bots can be delivered by ghost cursor so a Spidertron can implement this scheme by delivering the required logistic bots and other components. In some contexts it might be easier to instead bring roboframes and electronic circuits and an assembling machine and just make them on site.

That's exactly what I did, use storage chest and inserter beside roboport and trying to trash the contruction bots from the spidertron to the storage chest so then insert into the roboport. Maybe as you said the consturction bots will not be delivered by the ghost trash order, or the construction robor should not be delivered by themselves .
But after that, I also found out that it also cannot be delivered if I try to trash other items for example bullets from the spidertron to the storage chest if the roboport don't have construction bots but spidertron has.

That's not a trash order, that's an inventory deconstruction order.
Here is a trash order:

Then you set up ghost inventory order (will be fulfilled by spidertron's construction bots):

Inserter puts logbots into roboport, logbots take conbots from spidertron's trash slot into storage chest, inserter puts them into roboport as well.

Oh, that why
How to issue the trash order via remote view?
Shift + click does not work.

Set a logistic request with max amount lower than currently present in the inventory/trunk.

Please tell me how to operate to "set a logistic request"?

The spidertron in my screenshot had 15 conbots.
I set up the 10-10 conbots logistic request (as seen in the top right). This put the extra 5 into the trash slot.

(Your spidertron has a logistic request for 400 explosive rockets.)

Thanks so much, I have never known that it can set maximum amount for the logistic request, and the rest will be moved to the trash slots.
Good to learn, thank you!
Your way is working fine!
