We had been having much trouble with our robot's camera system as well, until we came to this thread.

This code worked perfectly in Java.

For testing purposes, we created a new SimpleRobot subclass using the RobotTemplate default method. We imported the wpilibj package and the camera package. And this was what followed it.

public class RobotTemplate extends SimpleRobot
{
   public RobotTemplate()
   {
        Timer.delay(8);
        AxisCamera camera = AxisCamera.getInstance();
   }
   // The other default methods placed here.
}

To prevent waiting 8 seconds before your robot will run, the AxisCamera camera = AxisCamera.getInstance(); line can be put in the teleopInit() method of an IterativeRobot subclass.

Hopes this helps!
