The point of the game Gyromite is to use either Professer Hector (Player 1), or Professer Vector (Player 2), to defuse all the pieces of dynamite in their laboratory.
This is mainly because R.O.B. is very slow in moving his spinning gyros, which are used to move red and blue pillars up and down in the game's levls, to allow the player to continue through the level.
To bring down the frusteration factor of the game though, the player can use the A and B buttons on controller 2 to move thses pillars up and down as well, without using the R.O.B. at all.

 T89 Cartridge Converter - tScholars.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
This is, of course, problematic for anyone wishing to play Japanese games on a NES, and thus a number of companies (including Nintendo themselves) produced an adaptor to allow 60-pin games to be played in 72-pin systems.
Due to a production overrun of the two R.O.B. games (Gyromite and Stack-Up) in Japan, Nintendo ended up selling these two games in the US with an internal adaptor.
The game itself looks perfectly normal, but inside are the electronics from the Japanese version plugged into a 60 to 72 adaptor.

Yup, Gyromite is about as ol' school as you can get with the NES.
The game was released way back in '85 as part of the Nintendo's ROB series (the only other game in that series was Stack-Up).
But Gyromite was still a kick-ass game that could be played with actual people.

 Gyromite chip? - AtariAge Forums
I was in a store the other day and there were two Gyromite cartridges at different prices: $0.99 and $2.99.
Certain early games like Gyromite and Stack-Up had the Famicom cart electronics inside the cart, and to make it compatible with the American NES, they put the converter inside the cart too.
My copies of Gyromite and Stack-Up both have the legendary NES-JOINT-01 Famicom converter, and I'll be damned if I cut into them with a Dremel.

 R.O.B./Family Robot
Gyromite came with R.O.B., you could buy Stack-Up separately, and as one can guess, Stack-Up is quite rare.
As a side note, many early copies of Gyromite contain a FC 60 pin PCB, attached to a 60-72 pin NES adaptor inside, and many have copies of the game have been cannabalized for the adaptor inside.
Another point of interest here, is that you can play Gyromite with a standard controller, and you don't need the robot at all.

 NES Stack Up - Why Is ROB Required? - Retrogaming Roundtable   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Gyromite doesn't actually NEED ROB either, but it's an interesting test in how long you can keep your sanity and not chuck ROB to other side of the room...he's not very aerodynamic anyway.
Stack-Up and Gyromite were both available separately as well, Gyromite separate came in a larger box than stack-up and has the gyros and all other parts included.
You can quite easially play Stack Up and Gyromite without R.O.B. It's pretty easy to simply hold two NES pads in your hands in a way that means the required buttons are accessable.

In Gyromite, ROB could be used as a second player to open the pipes scattered throughout the lab.
Player one would push start and push either A or B. This would send a signal to ROB telling him which pipe needed to be opened.

The most famous (or infamous) peripheral for the NES is arguably R.O.B., the Robotic Operating Buddy, which came packaged with initial shipments of the NES "Deluxe Set" at the system's launch.
Despite the fact that the idea of a console with a robot made me so excited I almost wet myself, I only played Gyromite the way it was intended for about half an hour before giving up on it forever.
The most that can be said for it is that it had groovy Hip Tanaka tunes.

Additionally, Nintendo revived the R.O.B (Robotic Operating Buddy), a plastic robot that connected to the NES and was moved around as part of an on-screen game, to unveil along with the NES at the Consumer Electronics Show of 1985.
R.O.B was alredy dead in Japan (with only two games, Gyromite and Stack-up, ever released for it), but it would demonstrate the NES's technical superiority above other consoles of the time.
Packaged with the NES were Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt.

 8Bit Joystick.com: The Famicom Adaptor in Gyromite Rumor
There was a rumor on teh intarweb that in some early copies of the NES game Gyromite there was a 72 to 60 Pin adaptor that would allow you to play Japanese Famicom games on an American Nintendo like my top loading NES.
Mainly it's the copies that were included with the first release of the NES (where Gyromite and Duck Hunt were the two pack-in games).
When going through boxes of carts at say, a flea market or used game store, if you hold a Gyromite cart that has a converter in it in one hand and a normal NES cart in the other, the Gyromite cart will be slightly heavier.

Gyromite wasn’t only one of the first NES games, it was also one of two "Robot Series" games that was compatible with the collectable R.O.B. robot peripheral.
R.O.B. was a little expensive when it came out, but Gyromite came packed with it.
While Gyromite is pretty dated by today’s standards, that isn’t to say that it can’t be adapted to today’s action puzzle genre.

After that, you’ll have to unscrew the two screws that hold the Gyromite ROM board and adapter assembly down on the face half of the cartridge.
Then, unplug the Gyromite ROM board from the connector on the top assembly and set it aside, feed it to your dog, or play it in your Famicom — we won’t be needing it anymore.
The article outlines the conversion of Super Mario Bros. 3, but since that game was released for the NES it may be better to use those adapters to convert Famicom-exclusive titles.
