I believe when he meant battery or pneumatics, he meant in the form running a winch uses massive amounts of power but is robust as opposed to pneumatics that use relatively low power but has to be engineered and have the right cylinders. Also, pneumatics is somewhat independent of the battery in that they just require the amount of air stored in your robot rather than the fluctuating power from the battery.
To answer the OP's question, I would say that this question is incredibly design dependent, and we would need to know a little more about your system. From what I can gather, your robot will be a defender-climber with no ability to shoot or do other functions. Based off of that knowledge, I do not believe you will run into power issues, as 4 motors on a drive train, provided your drive train is designed in such a way it is not constantly stalling, should have enough power come end of the match (or whenever you decide to climb) to winch your way up.
