Design summary
'Bark to the Future' is based around the old Sci-Fi tin toys of the 1950s and is also inspired by the 1980s film ‘Back to the Future’. He’s a time-travelling guide robot that has been sent from the future to save humanity using his bravery, keen sense of smell, loyalty and intelligence.
