Robo-Wings were a gadget that Clank was upgraded with by the Zoni in Stratus City in order to get to the Hall of Knowledge. The Robo-Wings were made of a peculiar zeptotech technology (Zepto being smaller than Nano) which, despite being more technologically advanced than Polaris technology, were compatible with Gelatonium-fuel pads commonly found throughout the galaxy[1]. They were able to be activated by pressing triangle when Ratchet stood on a Gelatonium pad. The player was able to steer by using the SIXAXIS, and allow Ratchet to gain altitude by pressing ex. The Robo-Wings had an unlimited fuel supply and unlimited time. The player could also deactive the Robo-Wings by pressing triangle during flight.
When not launched from a pad, they could be used as a backpack similar to the Thruster-Pack, however, in this mode Robo-Wings didn't stretch to their full length (except when gliding).They were very similar to the Megacorp Glider.
