Strange Camera Problems

At the last regional we were at , we finally started really using our camera... It was working great and tracking and everything until we noticed a problem: whenever we turned on our ball collection mechanism, the camera would freak out and go all the way to the left.

Since our collector has two fisher price motors, we tried to just run one at a time: with only one running (regardless of which), it would work just fine (maybe be a wee bit jerky but not freaking out). The motors are located on the complete opposite side of the robot from our camera (camera is top left, motors are bottom right).

We thought it might be the Van De Graff generator thing, but we tried grounding things and it didn't change; it also happens immediately so we ruled that out.

We are really at a loss as to what the problem could be, so anyone have any ideas?
