VR,
Cheer up a bit! - Luckily for many of us, "almost impossible" isn't the same as "impossible". 
Take a look here: Link to recent 5th Gear discussion
and here: 5th Gear discussion with links to other FRC simulation threads
The 5th Gear simulation won't be perfect, but it won't be 100% wrong either.
