Not really we just always said pulleys or sprockets one way, and we make marks on the sides of the module and the robot to help with remembering line up. One issue with our encoders is that if they ever reset they will rezero wherever they are. With the new system and the abundance of dedicated power ports, this has never been an issue. Just make sure they are connected somewhere with dedicated power i.e. the voltage regulator.
