we had the camera working perfectly before it got plugged in the wrong way
It is a possibility. One of my buddies was working with the camera and apparently plugged it in incorrecty, and we ended up with a burnt servo and a burnt camera. Check your servos. Fortunately, one of the local teams was not going to use a camera, so they donated theirs.
