Curling career

Robertson had a successful junior career which involved winning the 1984 Canadian Junior Curling Championships with her younger sister Barb, Janet Harvey and Barbara Fetch. Two years later, Robertson, her sister Barb, Fetch and Faye Irwin would win the provincial women's championship and would be given the right to represent Manitoba at the 1986 Scott Tournament of Hearts. At the Hearts, the team went 6-5 in the round robin and missed the playoffs.

Also in 1986, Robertson won the provincial mixed championship playing lead for Hal Tanasichuk.

Robertson would not win another provincial championship until 2003, playing third for her sister, Barb. The team finished the round robin at the 2003 Scott Tournament of Hearts with a 4-7 record. Robertson formed her own rink between 2005 and 2008, when she joined forced with her sister again. Barb and Darcy won another provincial in 2009, benefiting from previous Manitoba champion Jennifer Jones getting a bye to the Hearts as defending champions. The team finished with a 2-9 record, tied for last place.

Robertson left her sister's rink again in 2011 to form her own team. Since then, she has won seven World Curling Tour events: the 2012 DEKALB Superspiel, where she just happened to beat her sister's team in the final, the 2013 Atkins Curling Supplies Women's Classic where she beat Jill Thurston's rink, the 2015 Atkins Curling Supplies event (again defeating her sister), the 2016 MCT Championships (over Shannon Birchard), The Sunova Spiel at East St. Paul in 2017 (over Rhonda Varnes), the 2018 Icebreaker at The Granite, where she beat Russia's Anna Sidorova and the 2018 Colonial Square Ladies Classic (over Sayaka Yoshimura of Japan).

Robertson and her team played in the 2017 Canadian Olympic Curling Pre-Trials, finishing with a 2-4 record, and failing to advance to the playoffs.
