How can you make such a general comment like that? It depends on the robot's drive system, efficiency, driving style, pneumatic system, load on and frequency of use of arm actuation motors, etc, etc, etc. Please, no one just take anyone's word for things like this. "Your results may vary" Something like current draw is not a standard measure between different robots and different operating conditions.

Our 2003 robot completely drained a full battery every match.
