What could be wrong in this case [except for a faulty battery/camera]? It just a simple battery <-> controller connection.. weird.

Short on the back of the camera? Take it off the pan/tilt mount and see what kind of battery life you get. Do you have another backup battery? If not you may want to get another for a couple reasons: You will discharge it during a competiton, and you will need one for the robot while the other charges. It will also assit you here, as you can rule out the battery being bad.
For now, you may want to see if anyone on your team has one, as the connector/battery is common in RC cars. Someone said in this thread, they gave the backup battery connector 12v, and it worked. You may want to try a 9v battery connected to it, but there's the chance of frying the RC (I take no responsibility)
