Angry Please help. I've had it with this camera

Ugh. Fir the past 3 years I've been trying to get the camera to track the light, and every year I just can't get it. This year I managed to get the camera to recognize the color and track it, but I can't get the servos to move it. I download the easyC camera test program and downloaded to the robot, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I set the variables for the left and right drive motors equal to the respective PWM ports, but I can't seem to find where the pan and tilt servo pwm ports are defined. When I download the program to the bot, it doesn't do anything. In autonomous, neither the servos nor the wheels move, and in regular mode the joystick has no control over the wheels; the bot is just dead.

I'm at a loss right now. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with the program or how it's supposed to work. Furthermore, I have no desire to do programming this year, but unfortunately I'm the only person on the team who knows how to and I have to train younger members how to.
