I'm having the same problem, nothing is building.
What I'm doing: I've tried both deployers, but nothing works.
I put the deployer with a red cable and connected a combinator with robot builder signal = 1.
In the deployer itself I put a simple blueprint with cross-shaped walls.
Nearby there is electricity, a robot station with robots, I have robot builders in my pocket, a storage chest with walls.
What am I doing wrong?
Basically I don't need any super clever schematics, I just want to build trains from the blueprint when the system is signaling that there aren't enough of them. (I already have this system)
