Yes. Look at rule 3.e. 10V max.

What is the size of the battery you are supposed to use?

I'm assuming that you are talking about the final task's battery, and not battery's you plan to use to power your motors.

The battery is a standard 9 volt battery. Please note that the battery's contacts are different from each other, but are on the same size Here are pictures:

If you're talking about batteries to power your motors, any batteries can work, as long as they are under 10 volts. (15 AA batteries add up to 10 volts, which I need to check the rules to see if is legal or not.)
