The Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port is a port used for docking of two spacecrafts. It is usually used to dock medium-sized crafts. It is not very sturdy if used in large crafts. The Clamp-O-Tron Sr. Docking Port is better suited for this usage. Another way to connect two large crafts without using the Sr. is to use multi-port docking.

Product description

Invented after a peaceful protest against the lack of spacecraft attachment systems turned violent, the Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port allows for the firm attachment of two separate vessels. After docking, vessels can be just as easily undocked.

Compatibility

The different sizes of Clamp-O-Tron ports (standard, Jr. and Sr.) will not connect to each other. Still, the Shielded and Inline versions will connect to it.
