I'm not asking whether procedural programming or OOP is better, I'm asking what the benefits of OOP are over procedural programming. Procedural methods aren't perfect. For example, networking in most procedural languages is a PITA because of all the things you have to deal with. There are languages that make networking relatively easy though, like Java. I think tloz128 brought up a good point with the part about working with other programmers. It's much easier to just pass arguments than read the documentation for that routine.

Our robotics team wrote all of its code in C++, and we focused a lot on abstraction. It saved us hours of work and made quick modifications a breeze.
