# Adding Motors or Machines We do a lot with motors. *Shocking as an automation company, I know.* In Spikemark, we have quite a few tools to help you Add, Configures, Use, and Export Motors. ### [Machine Library](/docs/machinery.md) If you are using any [Stock Machine](https://creativeconners.com/products/#Machines) Manufactured by Creative Conners, we suggest you add your machine to your show through the [Machine Library](/docs/spikemark/adding-motors/machine-library.md). We have done all the pre-configuration for you. Start with the correct [position scale](/docs/spikemark/position-scale/position-scale.md), [max speed](/docs/spikemark/speed.md), and more. ### [**Adding a Custom Machine**](/docs/spikemark/adding-motors/custom-machines.md) If you are using a machine not manufactured by Creative Conners, you will need to do all the [configuration](/docs/spikemark/steps-for-a-successful-load-in.md) of a new machine. If you are using your own custom machine, you will need a Stagehand to connect to Spikemark. Check out these article for [adding](/docs/spikemark/adding-motors/custom-machines.md), [importing](/docs/spikemark/adding-motors/importing-motors-or-machines.md), and [exporting](/docs/spikemark/adding-motors/exporting-motors-or-machines.md), custom machines in Spikemark. --- # 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.
