U.R.O. (standing for Unidentified Rotating Object) was a West Sussex robot that fought in the Seventh Wars. It was an invertible, tyre-shaped robot with a 2.5kg, thin cutting disc that acted as a full body spinner, a mix between the designs of The Revolutionist and Corkscrew Two. It originated from Team MIBO, the Men in Black Overalls.

However, U.R.O was at a severe disadvantage as it had never been tested before its first round melee. It lost in the first round as a result, having been paired with robots from very experienced teams; Bigger Brother and Typhoon 2.
Robot History
Series 7
Fourth seed Bigger Brother flipped U.R.O. onto Refbot's ram, leaving it pinned there. Once it was shaken loose, U.R.O fled from its opponents, spinning feebly, before it was rammed by Bigger Brother and pushed aside. It was too wide for Bigger Brother to flip completely over initially, but it then suceeded in flipping U.R.O. into the CPZ several times. From there, it appeared to lose mobility. Sgt. Bash bit into U.R.O.'s shell, peeling part away as Refbot counted it out. Suddenly, U.R.O. regained mobility and slid feebly towards Bigger Brother and Colossus, and ended up in the pit.
