Pretty much. All you would do is populate the Robot Names box, then just leave the Allowed Robots box empty....can I set it up to *blank-page* all robots
The issue arises when you stated "independent of robot name". Somehow you want the add-on to identify and blank-page all robots, so you must supply a way for it to identify exactly what user-agent is a robot.
As such, it's up to you to fill-in-the-blank for the names of the robots you want to block. User-Agents.org is a pretty good site to see how various Spiders, Robots, Crawlers and Browsers identify themselves.(i.e. What to put into the Robot Names box.) If you're curious as to what is currently browsing your website, you ought to be able to review your Raw Access Logs (via cPanel) and get a feel for what-all has been on your website.
If you're looking for a way to avoid website scraping, deterring bad user agents and halting referrer spam you might want to take a look into using ZB BLOCK. I've employed it for years and have been well pleased with it's capabilities.
