Re: what motor did you use(arm)

The Fischer price had more than enough power to move the arm. At our test days, I accidently snagged the corner of a tote full of tools and wire with our tube funnels on the arm, and when i tried to free it up, it flipped the tote over like it wasn't there. After competition, I was dinking around with the robot, and the arm was strong enough to lift the front of our robot off of the ground without a problem. For our wrist, we used the globe motors on a PID loop with a slight reduction.
