AgileX SCOUT MINI

SCOUT MINI is the small member of the AgileX family: 612 × 580 × 245 mm, 23 kg, and rated by the maker for a 10 kg payload. It is a scaled-down SCOUT rather than a toy — four independently driven hub motors, double-wishbone independent suspension, solid filled tyres, 115 mm of ground clearance and the same 30-degree climbing figure as its full-size relatives. The number that stands out is speed. The manual gives 3 m/s and the product page rounds it to 10 km/h, which makes this the fastest chassis AgileX sells — faster than the indoor TRACER 2.0 at 2 m/s and twice the pace of the 1.5 m/s SCOUT 2.0 and HUNTER 2.0. On a 23 kg platform that is enough to make it useful for control and dynamics experiments rather than only for slow patrol work, which is why it turns up so often as the base under university and competition robots. The trade-off is endurance. A 24 V 15 Ah lithium pack — half the capacity of the SCOUT 2.0 pack — gives up to eight hours of runtime but only about 10 km of range, and recharges in two hours. Four 250 W brushless hub motors drive the standard version; the mecanum-wheel kit uses 150 W motors instead and turns the machine from a differential-steering platform into an omnidirectional one that can strafe sideways. As with the rest of the range, nothing is included above the deck: no sensors, no onboard computer, no navigation. What the buyer gets is aluminium T-slot rails, a CAN bus interface, an open-source SDK with ROS and ROS 2 packages, an optional 2.4 GHz transmitter with about 100 m of range, and IP22 weather protection — which means fair weather only, despite the off-road tyres. Front anti-collision tubing and white headlights are standard.
