What is happening:

I am trying to setup a remote Fulgora outpost. I want to place a roboport with some robots there - but for some reason spidertron is unable to place robots inside the roboport. Placing roboport - works, placing repair packs - works, placing robots - do nothing.

What am I expecting:

Spidertron places robots in the roboport

Can you place robots in a chest via spider? (both as an intermediate work around and as a triage of the issue)

The Spidertron (and thus, the Construction Robots inside) are considered to be a "Member" of the Logistic Robo-Network. Item Requests can only be fulfilled using "Items", which are stored in Chest-type inventories.
Moving some of the Construction Robots to the Spidertron's Trash Inventory makes the m appear as "Items"; however from this location they can only be moved by Logistic Robots, so nothing happens.
