I've heard it's super awesome, and with our awesome scouting system, a printer in the pit, and this, that could round off our data. Not to mention look pretty.

All students can get a free one year license at the Tableau site by offering proof of being a high school student. Many students upload a picture of a recent report card. There are also 5 free keys for Tableau licenses on TIMS for non-students. It's in their list of freebies. You would need your TIMS administrator to login and give you the key. We use about 3 of the keys for mentors.

You will need some time to get used to Tableau - do the tutorials, perhaps practice with uploading some data - to make Tableau useful. Unfortunately, it does have a learning curve and I wouldn't recommend deciding to use it the week before a competition with no practice or experience.
