How much of the robot do you want to run?
A simple 12 volt power supply at a few amps will handle the control system and sensors. You can do a lot of software development that way. It's probably best to use a linear supply, as a fancier "switching" power supply is likely to balk at the boost regulators in the Power Distribution Board.
Motors are another thing entirely. If you want to be able to supply the same kinds of current you can get from a robot battery, you'll end up with something huge, heavy, and expensive.
