The specifics of how to play the game will be covered in depth in the [[Gyromite/Walkthrough|walkthrough]]. This section will explain how to arrange the accessories around R.O.B., and how to use R.O.B. and the Gyros to play the game. The instruction manual states that you should place the Gyro holder tray in positions 4 and 5 on the base of R.O.B. The red and blue actuator is placed in positions 3 and 2, and the Gyro spinner is placed in position 1. Lastly, the second player controller should be placed in the actuator tray (no other controller but the original will fit). The truth is, these accessories can be arranged in any layout that you prefer. Note that with Gyromite, R.O.B.'s arms can be placed in five horizontal positions and only three vertical positions: low, middle, and high.

There's actually quite a bit of flexibility when it comes to how you choose to use the Gyros. When only one gate needs to be raised or lowered, you don't actually need to bother spinning the Gyro. You can actually have R.O.B. hold a Gyro between his "claws", manually place it on one of the actuators, and keep it held down for as long as you need. You only need to use the Gyro spinner if you wish to have both the red and blue actuators pressed. If that is the case, you need to get one Gyro spinning, and drop it on one of the actuators (which can occur from any height). This Gyro will remain on the button, and continue spinning for a couple of minutes. Then pick up the other Gyro and instruct R.O.B. to manually press the other button as you did for just one button. Try to make sure that R.O.B. picks up the spinning Gyro before it comes to rest and falls over.

=== Precautions ===

It is important to be mindful of the height of R.O.B.'s arms as you move them across. At the lowest position, Gyros will collide with the accessories scattered around R.O.B. and hurt the motors inside of him. At the middle position, the Gyros can collide with one another. Also, ''never'' instruct R.O.B. to lower his arms to the lowest position over the Gyro Spinner when his arms are closed and a Gyro is in the spinner. It's also a wise idea to avoid touching the sides of the Gyros when they are spinning; the friction can cause a nasty skin burn.
