My question is: will we be able to write/compile code in C++? I thought that this was the case.
If the base code will compile and run in C++, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use OOP and templates; it all just crunches down to machine code in the end.

If I were to speculate, I would guess is that the base functionality provided by FIRST will all be in C, but teams will be free to write their extraneous code in C++ and just interface it with the C base code.
