Re: Movement of the Fisher Price motors

If you want it to be stable, use the blue speed reducer transmission... thing.
That's what we did on our robot, and the arm was very stable:

You should be able to see it on the third picture.

Of course, using the speed reducer it DOES reduce your speed along with the vibrations, so think carefully if you really want to have a stable but slow arm, or fast but unstable arm (or something that's half of each).

Hope that helps.
