Dynamically Linked Libraries

We deploy static binaries both at work and for robotics, and it has saved us many times.

This is very good advice. I got the feeling the OP was just in learning mode.

The great advantage of shared libraries is that there is only one copy in physical memory, hard to see that as an issue in FRC since there is only one user application running in user space (besides the system and NI daemons).
