Counter balance is a very important way to keep your
arm from falling.

Another way is to use a feedback loop. Put a
potentiometer tells your RC what position the arm is
in, then have the PBASIC code hold the arm in a
stationary position. There are limits to what you can
do with this but it can definitely make your robot
behave better.
