You'll need to lookup the datasheets on everything you intend to put on the bot and make reasonable estimates for how much they will draw in the application you intend to use them in.
I would do this if I had an extra 8 hours and all the information put into 1 packet but maybe after build season I will. For rite now I think we will just do 4 motor drive system.
