What size breaker should I use for the RC?

Heh, silly question, but important, I'd think.

<R89> You must protect the Robot Controller power feed with a 20A Circuit Breaker. You may not connect any
other electrical load to this breaker.

Be sure to read through the entire Manual before you wire. There are a lot of things that have to be done a specific way.

in the ROBOT section of the manual, 5.3.9.1 Circuit Breaker / Fusing Rules


there is a small picture next to rule <R90> and <R91> and shows you that it requires a 20amp fuse

Re: What size breaker should I use for the RC?

Alex,
If you are using the supplied fuse blocks instead of the IFI block, I recommend that the first position (closest to the power stud) be used for the RC power. Any voltage drop in the fuse block is then minimized for the RC.
