About the Build

What is DART?

DART — short for DIY Affordable Reliable Tracked — is a versatile tracked robot/drone with a user-friendly undercarriage design that can be effortlessly constructed by anyone with access to a 3D printer. The project is fully documented on both the DigInto website and YouTube channel, guiding builders through every step of the process.

Whether you're a hobbyist exploring robotics or a developer building autonomous ground platforms, DART provides a practical, low-cost starting point — with comprehensive component explanations, wiring instructions, and a complete assembly guide.
