Biography[]
Roley was the fourth machine to join Bob's team, but it said he was the fifth in When Bob Became A Builder. Before he joined, Bob and the three machines were building a road using concrete. However, after they had finished, the road's surface was bumpy. Bob used his hand roller and the machines tried running over the concrete to flatten out the road, but it did not work. Luckily for them, Bird saw the situation and went to get his friend, Roley. Soon Roley arrived and and told the team that they needed some rock and roll. Bob replied that that they were fine from music, but Roley meant it as in flattening. Soon, he got to work, making the road's surface smooth and flat. After that, he joined the team.
