We had a similar issue in the during 2011 during competition. When we submitted our robot for inspection, the inspector pointed out that our robot frame wasn't fully isolated. The most obvious instance he found was the camera mount. To make to our match, we had to take it off to pass inspection. We had it mounted with the stock plastic pole.
I don't remember how we fixed the problem, but I believe it involved the the wires supplying power to the metal base plate of the camera, and along a metal bolt in the plastic assembly.
However, our camera was still working properly, but we didn't have a compressor.
Then there's the electronics, pneumatics, and all that stuff on top that will magically make the ball score billions of points. That will add up to a lot of weight. - MrForbes [more]
