Sliven,
Figure out the maximum reach the robot is capable of. Draw a free body diagram of the load in this position with any loading due to accel/decel. Calculate the amount of force that is being taken by each connection on the base. Take that force and multiply by a factor of safety of your choice.(1.25 is a personal favorite). Find a fastener that is capable of taking this load.
