Remember that PWMs 13-16 though can be shut off by the master processor (even if your code is trying to control them). There is nothing that allows the master processor to shut off the PWMs on the camera, hence hooking anything other than the camera pan and tilt to them would be a major safety concern at competition. When the field crew disables a robot, they need to be absolutely certain that that robot is not going to move and potentially hurt someone in the process.
