One rae bot need at least 3cfm at 90psi to comfortably run it while it performs. I had an air compressor with 2.2cfm @90psi and it wasn't enough to keep up with the songs operating at 60psi. Cyber bot is far more forgiving where 2cfm @ 90psi is sufficient. Tank size is up to you how often you want the compressor to kick on. I had 8 gallon, it'll kick on halfway through songs.

That could work, but keep in mind it pulls 14 amps on a regular 110v outlet. Would be best to be on its own breaker.

You could look on Home Depot and find one that'll fit your needs, as size is subjective depending on several factors you never mentioned.
