[Robotgroup] do the math ... check the math

I am still looking at the world through a violent headache but


	1 Farad = (1000 mA x 1 s) / 1.0 v

 From wikipedia: 1 Farad is the amount of capacitance that requires 
one second for a one ampere flow of charge to change the voltage by 
one volt.

So, that same 1 Farad is the amount of capacitance that requires 150 
s for a 10 mA flow of charge to change the voltage by 1.5 v ?

Is it fair (or accurate) to conclude that a charged 1 Farad 1.5 v 
supercapacitor could supply 20 mA for 75 s ?

Thanks.
