The D-Track is a versatile, printable robot designed for both teleoperation and autonomous behaviour. Its unique design, inspired by the 4-Track by Jon Goitia [1], preserves all the advantages of wheel and track-based motion while overcoming some of its disadvantages: the articulated tracks allow the robot to handle difficult surfaces and overcome obstacles that would limit the motion of simpler wheeled vehicles.
