It's a single piece of 4mm thick plastic, with a variety of holes, slots and cutouts for mounting boards, sensors, and servos. The sides are notched to fit two DC Gear 'TT' motors - you'll want to get four M3 or 4-40 screws about \u003cstrong\u003e24mm\/1.0\" long\u003c\/strong\u003e to mount the motors.
