I think this is because Bob's changes the basic circuit and is different than the base game.
The way I got Universal Palleting to work is make a small change in the mod settings. Open UniversalPalleting_0.16.2.zip and go to the settings.lua file. On line 7 it is default_value = false,
change it to default_value = true,
If you do not like editing the zip file, it may also work if you load this mod alone, then go to Options -> Mod Settings under the main menu. In the Mod settings window, select Startup tab. Scroll down to Universal Palleting and x the box. Save and exit Factorio. Load all your mods and see if that works for you now.
