Turning Capacitors into Batteries.

OK, before people start jumping on this thread and saying that capacitors aren't allowed in FIRST, allow me to tell you that YOU ARE RIGHT. Capacitors are not allowed on FIRST robots.

If you search www.hackaday.com with the term "supercap" you find a post about a capacitor turned into a battery.

How can I do this? I'm trying to recreate it myself and am having trouble doing so.

I know there is obviouisly the capacitor involved, along with some sort of voltage regulator. But aside from those I'm stuck.
