Since the motor power is a constant, it should always behave the same. I did notice you have the myDrive.setSafetyEnabled() line commented out. Sometimes the MotorSafety timing out can cause the robot to behave oddly. Do you receive any error messages at the Driver Station or Netbeans while running autonomous, and have you tried it with that line uncommented?
You could add some System.out.println()s to verify the timing. My team uses IterativeRobot, so I'm not super familiar with SimpleRobot, but the timing looks ok to me. Have you ensured that the delay values are long enough for the robot to physically respond? You cold try increasing the delay between raising and stopping the arm to see what kind of effect time has.
