Professor Hector

Professor Hector is a character appearing in the Nintendo Entertainmen System video games that made use of the R.O.B. peripheral. In the video games he is noted as creating R.O.B. along with Professor Victor.

Stack-Up
In Stack-Up, Professor Hector's first appearance in a video game, the character assists R.O.B. in organizing blocks. In a separate mode, Spike and Flipper, two viruses, have taken control of R.O.B. and it's Hector's goal to take control of the robot once more. In a multiplayer mode Hector can compete against Professor Victor to gain control of R.O.B.

Gyromite
Despite competing against Victor in the first game, the two unite in Gyromite, also for the NES, with the assistance of R.O.B. In the game, the two traverse sidescrolling levels while R.O.B. will alter various aspects of each level so that they will be able to progress. In Game B of the game, Professor Hector sleepwalks through his laboratory. In this mode the player does not directly control the professor. Rather, R.O.B. will have to alter the environment so that Professor Hector can progress and be safe. When Professor Hector comes across something such as a rope or a ladder, he will automatically start to climb.
