The cage you suggest is rather too small for a hamster of any description. A robo will need a minimum of around 50 x 80 square centimetres of unbroken floor space. If budget is a problem, you could try a bin cage, which I believe can be picked up quite cheaply, although you will probably need to make a lid (there are examples on line re how to do this) and cut out a window. Also, please be aware that the cage bars (if you go for a cage with bars) need to be closer together for a robo than for other hamsters.
