Camera Freezes?

Our team has been encountering a weird behavior of this year's camera. It will go through it's searching pattern and it does find the light. We have our cannon synced up with the camera's values. But sometimes the camera will completely stop all motion as if it was frozen. The servos motors are humming, but nothing is moving. Could this be a hardware problem? Or is there a problem with Kevin's Code? The only way we can reset it, is if we unplug our main battery, and the backup battery for 10 seconds. and plug in the backup battery FIRST and then the main battery. Is anyone having this problem?
