Our Mark I scout car is a robotic car based on the [[SunFounder Smart Video Car Kit|SunFounder Car Kit]] for the [[Raspberry Pi]]. It can be used as a reconnaissance vehicle in milsim scenarios or as an affordable development platform for hacking on Conreality.

Components

Our recommended, known-good reference configuration is the following:

• 1× [[Vehicle Frame|Ground Vehicles]]: [[SunFounder Smart Video Car Kit|SunFounder Car Kit]] (MSRP $94.99)
• 1× [[Main Board|Main Boards]]: Raspberry Pi 3 (MSRP $35)
