Camera does not search in autonomous mode after reset

Our team had been experiencing problems with that, and so (in my hacking nature...) I had put the Initialize_Camera function in that section. I don't know why, but it helped, and now the camera always initializes when Autonomous mode starts (or is invoked).

That is the same section of code where I added

tracking_initialized = 0;

Yes. Our programmer found camera searching was not working in autonomous and he and I tracked down why and added both "Camera_Handler()" and "Servo_Track()".

The behavior I described as if the static initializers are not being called under certain conditions is also happening in the recent thread The 8.2 (or 8.3) Battery Voltage Bug.
