This is more likely to act as a buffer to prevent the voltage from
sagging on the CPU when you're running the motors.  This is always a
pronlem when motors and CPU are run off a common source and is overcome
through filtering the power supply.

It's the delay you get when changing batteries so you don't lose your
firmware...
(the 1000uF Cap) the ring should be for filtering power.
