I'll try anything, thanks.  Only thing is, that since it's a part of the robot
arm, I suspect a translation would still leave it as part of the robot arm so
when moved they both would move.  That's the reason I was cutting it away and
pasting back into the whole scene.
Seeing that Mikael Carneholm had success animating the camera with cubic
interpolation makes me think I'm still doing something wrong.  I only got one
part of my animation to move the camera and there was supposed to be much more
than it had.
