List of components (DB21J4(v2))#

This list is representative. Details vary between production rounds.

We are always striving to improve, so minor details - e.g. the number and type of nuts and screws - can change between different manufacturing rounds of the same Duckiebot model. Most notably, all Duckiebots labeled as DB21J4(v3) (post September 2025) will replace chassis-related metal screws with nylon ones, and improve the omnidirectional wheel design, as well as presenting minor chassis design modification to accomodate for more Jetson Nano development kits.
