Unhappy Real time clocks, out of the question?

Hullo everyone. I'm Evan Wilson, lead programmer for Team 2172, St. Edward High School.

Our robot is all crated and shipped off... with horrible loop-counting timekeeping. In the past, I've heard of creating a real time clock with the Timer1 module in the PIC controller.

Is it humanly possible to create such a program? I DO know some PIC assembly, and certainly C. I assume this would be intensively assembly. Also, is there actually a crystal in the controller already? When reading the datasheet for the chip, it almost made it sound as if I'd need to do some whacked out solder job...

I would like to have gotten this done for this year's competition, but seeing as we have no adult mentors (and I'm a junior with a bit of a tight schedule) we couldn't cram in the work for that.

Anyways, thanks to anyone who could help, give links, etc.
