Query About Revolution Roli

I just noticed that there are only two servos in the Revolution Roli robot. There should at least be four of them(2 for neck and 2 for movement of wheels). I also noticed it has no ultrasonic distance sensor. I want to buy a kit(one of Roli and the original developers' kit). So, please clarify my doubts. Thanks a lot Yash
