The controller hardware has two main parts:
* a custom built platform
* the scrapeboard, a modified skatedeck
* the scrapeboard (a modified skatedeck)
The platform consists of four metal plates capable of supporting the weight of a person that should not move even under constant friction. The scrapeboard is a regular skatedeck with two round metal pads connected by a thin metal strip attached to the underside.

The electronics are assumed to be installed in front of the platform, near where the screen is. If installing the electronics behind the platform, adjust wire lengths and wire channel orientations as necessary.
### Terminology
To avoid confusion between similar parts, the following terms are used:
* *Platform*: the entire floor device, containing four metal plates
* *Panel*: a single piece of the four panel platform, a piece of wood with a single metal plate attached
* *Plate*: the metal part of the panel by itself
* *Pad*: one of the two metal anchor rings on the underside of the scrapeboard
### Platform
The platform for a standard Scrapeboard build consists of four evenly spaced metal plates, about 12" × 18" each, spaced 5" apart. The metal plates can be mounted in any manner, as long as they are firmly attached. This manual describes how to mount the metal to four 15" × 21" × 3/4" pre-cut pieces of plywood and bracket the pieces together. It also describes how to use a router to inset the metal parts and wiring, but those parts are optional.
