myRobot.ArcadeDrive(stickD); // drive with arcade style (use right stick)
Wait(0.005); // wait for a motor update time
Im not a software expert, but I dont think you want the Wait() statement. The ArcadeDrive should be in teleopPeriodic which runs when you get joystick updates (20ms).

But that is not this problem. Check your break/coast jumpers as already suggested. Calibrate the Victors - are they solid yellow (indicates commanded to zero velocity) when they are coasting?
