Our robot initializes the camera in regular drive mode but doesn't search until autonomous is activated. So, in regular drive mode, the servos have power but are told to sit still. They will fight you if you try to turn the camera mount with your hand, so it seems like they do use power to stay there. Maybe we're talking about different kinds of servos?
