I don't know how much we will use Tableau during competition, but it looks like it will be extremely good at comparing teams. It has a filter feature so you can sort out teams.

Tableau would best be suited for coming up with strategies in your matches. For instance, position for autonomous: who's accurate, and where? Does one team just not do anything? With good data from previous matches you can determine those things.

Then, for Teleop, you could determine data about both you and your opponents, like typical shooting area, who is normally in what zone, who you need to block, who isn't worth the time to block. For your team, it can allow you to determine who should be in what zone, who should be the shooter/catcher/defender or whatever rules you have.

My only concern, is can that be done in the (sometimes little) time you have between matches?
