I'm assuming that you are referencing size of their robot. Now are we talking a standard candle? If so, we know that a standardized candle burns at 0.48 inches every hour. Now we would need to know the hella to inches conversion. I would assume hella big would be 1 hella. Now if we assume 254 used all the allotted space they would be 6'6". 6'6" is equivalent to 78 inches. So that would be 162.5 candle hours. Since you asked for candle seconds I have also included those: 254s robot is 585,000 candle seconds tall. Therefore hella big equates to roughly 162.5 candle hours or 585,000 candle seconds, assuming they maxed their height.
