While it is certainly part of the current rules and you have to allow for it...
My opinion is it would be a better game if you didn't have to deal with controls brown out as it is now. As a complete tangent, an industrial design that had these issues would either separate control & power energy or make the energy source big enough so that is wasn't a issue.
With the current rules, a super capacitor would likely make the robot fail the power off test on the robot inspection check list.
