I'm curious to know how you intend to use dynamic allocation in the context of a FRC robot. Perhaps I'm too ingrained in the "embedded system" paradigm to see a good reason not to account for all the data in advance.

And I'm not quite sure what you're saying in regards to OO and exception handling. Why use them sparingly? Once you become versed in C++ they are both extremely useful.

It seems to me that overuse of a language's exception-handling features is a lazy habit. Again, when working with embedded systems, one tends to learn to keep very tight control over unusual situations. My experience is that compiler-level exceptions are not appropriate if you take care to ensure the proper input conditions and to handle out-of-range values explicitly.
