Organise computer hardware for the competition

[RealOrangeOne]

We will need a large number of computers for the competition. This ticket serves as a central place which records everything other than volunteers individual laptops.

In addition to the hardware for the individual dependencies noted below, we also need:

• machines to run the network (if not provided by the venue)
• machines for helpdesk (though this may be volunteers' laptops)

machines for helpdesk (though this may be volunteers' laptops)

I have arranged for two laptops to be borrowed to sit permanently at helpdesk.

Additionally, we may have a status screen and Pi at helpdesk too, but I have not yet arranged for that yet.

A pi for mixtape

We could run this on the same machine as #1082, which I'll be providing.

A pi for mixtape

Is this even supported? My understanding is that mixtape needs macOS for the music alignment component.

It used to be, but I resolved that a while ago: https://github.com/srobo/srcomp-mixtape/pull/2

We're 4 pi 4's and 4 pi's from the srcomp box to do the displays and WIll's macbook for mixtape

[PeterJCLaw]

I assume you mean Pi 3's if you're referring to the box of Pis we usually use for SRComp stuff?
