It depends on a lot of things. Including the gear reduction, and weight of the robot - on top of that, if you have enough CIM's running, your robot will be able to move, but no for very long because it would drain the battery.
If you want a more technical answer (I could work the numbers for you, or document how to do it for you), let me know (reply, private message, or email). I recently did a bit of research into gear box design for the sake of an engineering project, and have developed some tools to allow me to quickly analyze a motor/gear ratio/robot weight combination. I also have a stack of references available if you would like to do your own research.
