This typical application uses a 5A breaker... i doubt you'll need 30A for a FIRST robot.
Also, the worst that can happen if you use too small of a breaker - the breaker pops, and you put a bigger one in, after determining that it didn't pop due to a short or other hazardous electrical condition. The worst that can happen if you use to big of a breaker - your digital side car, and possibly anything attached to it, could go up in smoke.
