CMU Cam not Tracking Properly on Robot

When the camera is on the bench, it tracks perfectly in LabView (after putting a jumper on the pins to flip the Pan). When we hook it into the robot via TTL and PWM 1 (Pan Servo) and 2 (Tilt Servo) it does not track properly. Once it locks on to the target, the camera pans/tilts the target out of the field of view of the camera (the Pan and Tilt Errors increase when they should be decreasing).

Anyone else have this same problem?
