If you are using the mount that came in the kit of parts, then the camera does not have more than 180 degrees of rotation.
A solution to your problem might to write a short dead reckoning algorithm, lets say (in pseudocode):
Code:
forward(1 sec)
turn left(2 sec) /*or right, depending on which side of the field you are starting at*/
forward(2 sec)
hand control over to the camera
Something like this would more than likely make sure that you won't shoot into you're own goal during autonomous.
Next, you can have a switch on your control board (or a joystick button), such that:
Code:
if(p1_sw_trig (hypothetical)==1){ disable_cam=1;}
if(p1_sw_top==1){ disable_cam=0;}
Which would allow you to disable the camera when you are on defence (if you so choose).
Hope this helps,
