I don't know where we got ours, since I missed that particular shopping run, but I can provide suggestions.

Grainger definitely has some that should suit. Hardware stores or sporting goods stores that cater to climbers may be good sources also. Just check the max load capacity and be sure to allow a safety factor. The unmarked ones you tend to see in the sporting goods aisle at Target/Walmart are typically rated for about 5 lbs, so they're likely to fail spectacularly when you hang a 150 lb (including battery and bumpers) robot from 4-6 of them.
