    I also wanted to add that this issue only seems to occur with the rigid body tags enabled. I cannot disable them as it spoils the effect I am after. Thanks.

    I would suggest uploading the project file. It would be a lot easier for someone to find the problem if they could see the project.

    Hi Jad,

    Deselect “Weld” either in the Connect object, or in the same settings in the Cloner.

    Here’s info from the Help files on the Connect object. I’m guessing that welding the sub-points of the objects in the Connect is causing the erratic interactions between the spheres cloned onto them. You can also get rid of that unwanted motion by reducing the “Tolerance” setting (.01, for example), but I don’t think you need to enable Weld at all.
