# Simple Motor iMates

When you left click any electronic file, you will see white circles on them.  These are called iMates, and they're presets for insert constraints.  Using iMates makes it possible to replace simple electronics with the VEX electronic files. 

## Using iMates

Place a simple motor from `Electronics/V5 Simple Motor.ipt`. 

We will use an insert constraint to constrain the simple motor to our drive channel.  First left click the motor so the iMates show, then insert constrain to one of the iMates (white circles).

For the second selection, select the c-channel hole you want.

For the second constraint we will use another insert constraint with the remainder iMate.

The simple motor is constrained with iMates!

# Agent Instructions: 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:

```
GET https://wiki.purduesigbots.com/vex-cad/making-a-chassis/inventor-chassis-best-practices/simple-motor-imates.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
