It was too late to offer to set this up for my team's pits but if I can get that setup going for next year it will save having to pack and set up three extra laptops.
Could be a neat little off season project for someone that likes to tinker. If you really want to get fancy there are even ways to network the Pis and have them synchronize playback like a big digital sign. Definitely something I'd love to try.

That's really cool! Great way to save space, and much cheaper then having a dedicated computer. I might bring this up to my team!
