Re: Using Tableau for Scouting

I create dashboards for our drive team before matches and then use Tableau for alliance selections later. I also create stacked bar charts of the average score for all robots, and print+post those around the venue for people to look at.

At the Philomath district a week ago, I got the chance to see some of the inner works of your team's data process, and one of the parts I really liked was that you actually printed out data for each match on paper. This was convenient because we could write on the sheets while creating strategies, as opposed to just being able to look at it on a tablet or laptop. So come eliminations we could circle defenses/write notes for enemy teams, etc.

The cumulative bar charts you have published across the venues is also really cool, although I wonder how much teams are relying on that data rather than their own notes for alliance selection
