Never had the occasion to try or even know about this robot, maybe it wasn't a famous thing back then in my region.
Seeing some AVGN and in general surfing the web, I got to know about and ..well I'd have been so happy to play with something like this, unfortunate that its times are gone and the feeling lost nowadays.
VR is something that I deduct it's similar (as a 'unique experience' type of thing), which I really suggest & like a lot.

Sure, this hack makes the game much easier to enjoy, but it also goes against the appeal of having someone play alongside you. Yes, R.O.B. is slower than a McDonald's employee on their very first day in the kitchen, but watching him place the Gyros on the buttons to (hopefully) activate the red & blue gates in game is somewhat mesmerizing.

BUT... Given how R.O.B.'s sensors were designed for 80s CRTs, he won't work with modern LCD screens. So, if you're looking to emulate this on your PC or smartphone like a lot of us are these days, then this mod is pretty much your only way to experience this game.

На игровом изображении необходимо было отобразить помощника-робота-оператора и смоделировать его помощь, изменив анимацию соответствующим образом.

Robotic Operating Buddy companion needed to be displayed in the game's image, and its assistance needed to be simulated, changing the animation accordingly.

Playing with ROB is the entire point for me.

I miss ROB!! It gets way too much hate today. I can understand why this exists, it does make Robot Gyro so much more playable, but nothing beats the feeling of having a properly setup ROB playing this game. Spin the tops. Grab then before they stop and fall. Hope they are aligned properly as to not create flying shrapnel. It is a must experience, especially if you are into NES games! Sucks to admit, but I am 1000% more likely to play this today with the mod than with ROB (who wants to setup a complicated controller for one game. And no Robot Block doesn’t count). I wish there was more ROB games…

You no longer need the AVGN Gyromite Controller! This was one of me and my brother's favorites, except man ROB was such a pain in the ass to set up.

With this Romhack, it unifies the ability to control the elevators and descenders on the FC/NES Controller 1 instead of the Controller 2, making the game more comfortable and practical to play.
