If the camera is mounted normally the tilt is messed up. If we mount it upside down the pan gets messed up.

Are you using last year's camera? The 05/06 version of the CMUCam2 had servo control headers on it. When the camera was in "tracking" mode, it would compute the output values needed to center its vision on a particular color blob. Kevin's camera tracking code (servos controlled on RC, NOT CmuCam) simply tricks the CMUCam into thinking it is controlling the servos. The software on the CMUCam constantly updates these servo values and spits them out to the headers. This is why your camera will track when using the LabView App.
This year's camera does not have on board servo headers. With the addition of the illuminated target, there is really no good reason to use the LabView app, except to see what the camera is processing.
