another way which might work would be to connect the servo outputs from the camera to the analog inputs in the RC and then control the servo through the PWM output, in this case u can also use the signal from the servo to monitor the heading of your camera , which can be quite useful using some "smart" programming.

Gal,
I would disagree. It would be useful to know that your robot is successfully tracking the tetra right before the match begins (while it is disabled). In the event that it isn't, you can quickly switch to an autonomous mode that doesn't use the camera, instead of wasting 15 precious seconds.
Additionally, the camera would get its lock BEFORE the match starts instead of having to waste time doing it after it has already started.
Lastly, this is the method IFI is SUGGESTING in the "Start Here" document. This means most teams setting up these cameras for the first time, will be setting them up this way. It'd be errr... interesting...
if this way turns out to be illegal.
