Story
Professor Hector and his assistant, Professor Vector, navigate side-scrolling platform levels with the help of their creation, R.O.B. Their lives are threatened by dynamite and hungry little lizards called Smicks, and Professor Hector's sleep-walking tendencies get him in trouble as well. Is there no rest for R.O.B.?
Equipment
Two Gyros: weighty, metal-tipped tops that spin independently of their handles.;
One holder: occupies two accessory slots (instructions dictate #4&5), holds Gyros when not in use.;
One Tray: occupies two accessory slots (instructions dictate #2&3), holds one standard NES controller plugged into controller port #2, and operates the A and B buttons on it when Gyros are set atop the appropriate color-coded pedestals.;
One Spinner: occupies one accessory slot (instructions dictate #1), powered by one D battery, used to spin the Gyros up to speed so that they can rest on the tray's pedestals. At full speed, a Gyro may spin for approximately five minutes.;
Two Hands: claw-shaped tips for R.O.B.'s hands that let him tightly grip the handles of the Gyros. Can easily recover a spinning gyro that has begun to wobble.;
Game principle
As the Professor character moves through the levels, R.O.B. must aid navigation by raising and lowering red and blue gates. When a Gyro depresses the red pedestal, red gates are lowered. When a gyro depresses the blue pedestal, blue gates are lowered. The action on the screen never stops: so while operating R.O.B., the on-screen character continues to be vulnerable.
General strategy
Gyros needn't be spinning when lowering just one set of gates at a time. R.O.B. can simply hold a Gyro, and use it to press the pedestals as needed, without setting it spinning or letting it go. Only when lowering both colors of gates simultaneously must a Gyro be brought to the spinner, then abandoned on a pedestal so that the other Gyro may be used in conjunction.;
A spinning Gyro can be dropped from any height to rest on a pedestal. (From maximum height, this is a very satisfying maneuver to watch, but it may leave indentations.);
Though the instructions recommend the accessories be attached as illustrated here, other configurations are possible. The player may set them up in any order desired.;
