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?

Roy: I assume I’ve at all times been fascinated by the concept of re-design. At the same time as a baby I used to interrupt my toys aside and attempt to rebuild them in new and other ways. Trying again, this allowed me to develop my creativeness and talent to fantasize.

·        Robots-Weblog: How did you give you the identify „the OffBits„?

Roy: The OFFBITS began out by enjoying with random elements I discovered in my toolbox whereas engaged on an train earlier than beginning my design research in faculty. Abruptly I discovered I had made a little bit robotic! I stored this concept with me throughout my research, and for my last challenge constructed an entire metropolis of them comprised of recycled elements. It was rather well obtained and I knew I had an excellent thought in my arms. It took a couple of years of improvement 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 could have loads to do with robots in your job/on a regular basis life?

Roy: Sure, I really 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 really like the best way folks can take the unique design after which make one thing utterly completely different. Additionally, the very fact it’s product of parts all of us have round us means there aren’t any value or availability limits to what folks can do with them.

Offbits are a sustainable and eco-friendly instructional toy that encourages zero-waste ideas and practices by a enjoyable and interactive expertise. It’s an effective way to carry consciousness and encourage constructive actions in preserving the setting.

Roy: I really like all my robots household!

·        Robots-Weblog: Are you able to inform us about any challenges you confronted whereas designing the OffBits?

Roy: From a design perspective, working with commonplace {hardware} parts introduced many distinctive challenges. For instance, selecting the right combination of bits within the kits (each functionally and aesthetically) required loads of trial-and-error sort work, after which after all there may be the difficulty of connecting elements that weren’t designed to suit collectively.

·        Robots-Weblog: How do you envision the OffBits evolving in training fields?

Roy: It is a S.T.E.A.M toy serving to younger minds develop within the fields of Science, Expertise, Engineering, Artwork and Math. The OffBits toys encourage the event of positive motor abilities, spatial reasoning, problem-solving, and imaginative play.

The hands-on constructing course of permits customers to find out about robotics and engineering ideas in a enjoyable and interactive manner. The step-by-step directions for constructing and programming the Offbits kits, making it straightforward for customers of all ages to know the ideas behind the know-how.
