The object is a metal unit housed in a blue wooden case (open in both the front and the back). On the front of the object are various buttons, toggle switches, and knobs, which are apparently used to control biology experiments. Example labels include "CHIME ON/OFF," "INSTRUCTION LOCATION," "MEMORY ADDRESS," "RELAYS," and "SENSE SWITCHES." A total of 7 connections, 5 modules, and a power connector are accessible from the back of the object.
