Could you explain the craft a little bit?  I'm trying to wrap my head around the design.

Also, what mod are the "Attach-O-Tron" ports?  Looks like someone scaled down the Clamp-O-Tron Sr.  It also seems to be pointing at a reaction wheel, not the port.

Sounds like you have your docking ports placed backwards.

Works for me. Although it is odd that it won't embed.  Here it is on Imgur:

@geologue, are those docking port/reaction wheels one piece?  If so, then they're definitely backwards and would explain why the PAW is point to the reaction wheel.

Thanks.  Strange, it wouldn't work on mobile when I first looked, even copying and pasting the address to a new tab gave me a 404.   Switched to desktop and I can see it fine.  Awesome forum software update strikes again.

 

With regards to those ports, its hard to know because they appear to be mod parts, but they resemble downscaled Dock Ports Sr's. 

Even if they are backwards, clicking "undock" on one of them should separate the ship (almost as if it were an underpowered decoupler).  My first guess though is that one of the ports is not facing the right way; docking ports need to face each other.

Looks like we're already on to something here. As has been mentioned, the docking ports appear to be the wrong way around. You also need two docking ports pointing towards each other if you want them to work

Moved to Gameplay Questions for you

Thanks everyone i got it, 2 attach-o-tron = 1 docking port and we need 2.
