# Motor Orientation

When assembling their 3in MAXSwerve Module, teams have a choice of either left-hand or right-hand assembly, meaning teams can choose which direction their motors' wires face.

Depending on the choice the team makes, your layout of the MAXSwerve may look like either of these, at various stages of the assembly process.

In our [3in MAXSwerve Drivetrain ](https://cad.onshape.com/documents/881172ccbf1a3c6b84a7c7a5/w/47b88cdaad963852e7118016/e/910662262bf507b06f5cb8ce)example we chose two Left-Hand and two Right-Hand orientations to allow for clean wire management and a balanced drivetrain.&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.revrobotics.com/ion-build/build-guides/maxswerve-module-assembly/motor-orientation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
