We were thinking about doing that and came up with some methods. You could either..

Use the bouding box variables given from the cam to try and line it up manually.

Or..

Take the pan servo outputs from the camera, input them into the RC, run it as the x value on a one joystick drive algorithm, and move the drive motors to try and "trick" the camera into thinking the servo moved.
