# 1 SCOUT MINI  Introduction

SCOUT MINI intelligent mobile chassis, with 4WD, strong off-road performance and compact body shape, truly achieves "dexterous and flexible". SCOUTMINI inherits the advantages of SCOUT four-wheel differential chassis family, i.e. four-wheel drive, independent suspension, in-situ rotation and so on, and has made innovation in the design of hub motor. The minimum turning radius of the chassis is 0 m, and the climbing angle is close to 30 degrees. SCOUT MINI is still capable of excellent off-road performance although it is only half of SCOUT in size. In addition, it has a breakthrough high-speed, accurate, stable and controllable dynamic control system up to 20 km/h. SCOUTMINI development platform with its own control core, supports standard CAN bus communication, and can access to standard CAN bus communication, as well as all kinds of external equipment. On such basis, it supports secondary development such as ROS and more advanced access and the access of robot development system. Equipped with standard RC transmitter, 24V 15Ah lithium battery power system, its endurance mileage is up to 10 km. Additional components such as stereo camera, laser radar, GPS, IMU, manipulator, etc. can be optionally installed on SCOUT MINI for expanded applications. SCOUT MINI is frequently used for unattended inspection, security, scientific research, prospecting, logistics, etc.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://agilexrobotics.gitbook.io/scout-mini/1-scout-mini-introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
