The Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port is a port used for docking of two spacecraft. It is usually used to dock medium-sized craft. It is not very sturdy if used in large craft. The Clamp-O-Tron Sr. Docking Port is better suited for this usage. Another way to connect two large craft 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 standard Clamp-O-Tron will connect to the inline, shielded, and Mk2 variants, but will not connect to the Jr. or Sr Clamp-O-Trons.
