Maybe my phrasing ("how do you want to meter that sequence?") was unclear. I was asking what you want to use as an indication that it's time to move to the next step. Do you have wheel encoders that can tell you how far you've driven, and can you use that distance to decide what to do next? Are there sensors that let you know when the kicker is pulled back an appropriate amount? Do you just want to rely on elapsed time?

A simple flat sequence in Autonomous Independent might be the easiest solution, with each frame doing one step of your autonomous process and waiting for the right condition before letting it move to the next frame.
