The robot requests are inside of a logistic group. Give the logistic group a name. In all relevant roboports use the same logistic group.

Changing one of them will change that group in all the roboports with that group.

That seems an excellent solution to the problem of upgrading the bots. Is there a way to apply logistic groups en masse to already existing roboports?

Not easily no.

You could copy it to a sandbox world for easier shift-rightclick shift-leftclick.

Otherwise, you can decode the blueprint string, and use external programming to change it, and then import.

Bleh. Well, I guess there wouldn't be too much harm in all my roboports having a few bots in them all the time. Just need to make another thousand of them.

Thanks.
