Get an error when attempting to add things to bobinserters

[Sesame_Slayer]

Somewhere in the control file, something makes me get this error message:
__BobInserters-Early-T2-Research__/control.lua:1: attempt to index global 'bobmods' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
__BobInserters-Early-T2-Research__/control.lua:1: in main chunk
What could be causing this? I know it is the control.lua file, as all its contents were added in the latest version of the mod, and the mod worked before then.

Edit:
I realize that I need to also attach the bob inserters file, as my code makes no sense otherwise. please make note I am new to modding.

Edit 2:
my intent with this is to add 2 more levels to the long inserters technology, and move the 2nd level back to logistics 2, which I have already done.

Unlike data.lua, control.lua is sandboxed. You can't interact with the control.lua of other mods.

Bob also has a restrictive license, so you need his permission if you want to copy the entire control.lua and edit it.

What should I do then? Contact bob to ask for permission, and also ask how I could add new technology to the list? I've replaced the mod files with an empty folder, just in case. I have not copied the control folder, instead just tried to see how it worked, and added some (annoying to make) tables in the way i think bob implemented them.

Edit: contacted bob, got permission, will not continue trying to make this.
