Our programmers are reluctant to switch cameras because the say if something goes wrong with the camera it will crash the code and put us out of a match. Is this assumption accurate, can it be avoided.

We would be using the camera strictly for driver aid.

We are programming in Java

While there may be a small amount of truth based on how they interface with it, I would just suggest to them to write more robust code so that if something goes wrong with it, it the problem can be detected and code will ignore it.
