Do these capacitors look a bit large for a microcontroller?(Team Executor SX)

It would be fun to reverse-engineer this. I suppose it acts as a USB dongle when you plug it in and charges the capacitors, and when power is removed (e.g. by turning off the console) it turns into a USB host, with the capacitors powering the electronics and providing 5V to USB (instead of receiving). They do seem pretty overpowered though, 2x 500F is a lot of capacity. These do deliver 2.7V each, so they probably are wired in series, resulting in a total capacity of 250F. It would be interesting to know what type of resistors they are using to discharge the capacitors though, what internal resistance the capacitors have, whether they're using a load balancing cuircuit or not, how much power is ultimately dissipated and how high the peak current is. I won't even bother tring to calculate that, I just can't do that.

I have absolutely no clue, and I'd like to see what people like BigClive has to say about this.
