It makes me wonder why we don't take more effort to make sure we keep ours charged up and in use all year

Energy use per match depends on a lot of things, and the game has a lot to do with it...we used up most of the capacity of the battery during matches in 2007...this year the batteries lasted quite a while.

You should be able to figure that on average, roughly one quarter to one half the capacity of the battery in each robot will be used in a match. So figure two batteries worth of charge per match (6 robots) as a starting guess.
