\subsection{James Alfei}  James developed a substantial portion of the software powering the system. This included initial testing and interfacing with the hardware, initial research and development, setting up of all hardware components and developing all main functional code for inter-device communication and conflict resolution. This code was then double checked by the remainder of the team to ensure that it was efficient and performed as expected. The final software is a culmination of all previous stages to make a final robust system that can safely and effectively power the system, integrating all externally developed components from other team members into a fully working product. Although James developed a large portion of the actual interface code, the functional code to get the phidgets Phidgets  interfacing with the Google Earth software was developed by the other members of the team. \subsection{Matt McCarthy} 

\subsection{Craig Ashley}  Craig developed VB code that looks for an open Google Earth window. If it exists, the program automatically switches to it. He also developed a java Java  program that runs this VB code, and also developed the Java robot that automatically targets the search box in Google Earth, types in a search term and searches for it. He also contributed with the initial research of the project, reading the documentation and helping with the iniitial initial  setup of the hardware.
