We've hooked up the servos on the camera directly to two motors so the camera tells the motors what to do.

Are you guys modifying the code sent to the motors or will this setup work?
The servo PWM value commands position. The motor PWM value commands velocity and/or torque. These are not equivalent... You will have to do some math to make it work...
