Abstract: Plant scanning vehicles (10) including, but not limited to, plant scanning vehicles for use in field-based phenotyping. There is a central body (16); three or more legs (15) extending from the central body (16) to support a wheel (13) on each leg (15); wherein the three or more legs (15) are mounted to the central body (16) rotatably about a respective vertical axis (95) to allow adjustment of a track width W of the vehicle by rotating the legs wherein the legs are mechanically coupled to transmit rotation between the legs about their respective vertical axes and the central body (16) or the three or more legs (13) are configured to support a sensor (47) to scan plants.
