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 interfacing with the Google Earth software was developed by the other members of the team.  \subsection{Matthew \subsection{Matt  McCarthy} Matt helped with the design process of the system, selecting which input and output devices would be most appropriate within the form factor we have used. He created the device using card, and chose the most intuitive positioning of the I/O devices.   Matt  created the 'Sweeper' class, which handles automatically scraping location data from Google Earth. This data is used to reprogram the RFID tags. \subsection{Craig Ashley}
