The 70 A would be OK and cheaper I think. The "M" indicates meters and you usually get a premium for those. Again, the wires you use will drop some voltage so you might want some welding cable (#2 or larger)to run from the supply to robot. Before you commit dollars, use a current meter and find out what the current draw actually is. A supply with enough current to drive the robot might easily be worth several batteries.
