Sebastian Trella from Robots-Weblog had the chance to conduct a brief interview with Roy Barazani from „the OffBits“.
· Robots-Weblog: Who’re you and what’s your job on the OffBits?
Roy: I’m Roy Barazani – The OffBits founding father
· Robots-Weblog: What impressed you to create the OffBits toy?

I saved this concept with me throughout my research, and for my remaining undertaking constructed an entire metropolis of them comprised of recycled elements. It was very well obtained and I knew I had a terrific concept in my palms. It took a number of years of growth and testing in Maker Faire occasions and boutique design shops and now I lastly really feel they’re prepared for the world.
· Robots-Weblog: Do you will have rather a lot to do with robots in your job/on a regular basis life?
Roy: Sure, I like robots and I’ve collected robots for years!
· Robots-Weblog: How did sustainability issue into the creation of the OffBits?
Roy: I see The OFFBITS as a brand new manner of enjoying with toys, an “open-source” platform with no guidelines, so every creation could be as distinctive because the one who constructed it. I like the way in which individuals can take the unique design after which make one thing utterly totally different. Additionally, the actual fact it’s made from elements all of us have round us means there are not any price or availability limits to what individuals can do with them.
Offbits are a sustainable and eco-friendly academic toy that encourages zero-waste rules and practices by way of a enjoyable and interactive expertise. It’s an effective way to deliver consciousness and encourage constructive actions in preserving the surroundings.
