First of all: cool re-envisioning of the starter bots !
While it's cool to see the green circle working area, and it certainly makes sense - it would be far more preferable (and I assume it would make the mod far more appealing) if the building zone would be exactly the same, as the logistics zone of a roboport. Maybe including making it square as well. So that once player makes the transition - it's an easy replace of already placed infrastructure.
I even see making a checkbox in mod's settings to alter recipe of a roboport to include the crane as an ingridient :)
