PID How to hold an arm in a fixed position without a locking gear box

I have read a little of the PID stuff and i sort of get it. I am wondering a few things.
1. How does your team power the rotation of their arm and get it to stay in a lifted position?
2. Do you use the window motors or some of the smaller motors to power its rotation and lifting?
3. is there not a risk of burning up a motor if just barley enough voltage is applied to keep an arm lifted?

This is my second year in FIRST... Im not sure that the robot my team produced lastyear should be considdered something FIRST worthy. I really need help or pictures.
