One problem you may observe with robotic arms is vibration. It depends on if the robot has mechanical brakes, or is using the actuator servos to maintain a static position. In the latter case there may be some vibration due to marginally stable control loops. This is usually very low level but a microphone will be all too happy to pick it up. I wonder how the WidowXL performs regarding this.
