Uh, depends on a lot of factors. Here is a tip: Battery capacity is measured in Amp-Hours. So if a battery is rated at 10 Amp-hours (that figure it entirely ficticious) this means you could draw 10 amps for an hour, or one amp for 10 hours (although this is not a perfect relationship, because batteries have internal resistances). 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.
