You problem may be in the sequence. I was having a similar problem triggering solenoids within the teleop, and the sequence itself was delaying drive operations from runnning in real-time.

I fixed this by using a few case structures and feedback notes to keep the extending solenoid enabled and the retracting solenoid disabled while the trigger was held and the inverse when the trigger wasn't held.

Timing operations can cause a delay.

Another option would be to make an entirely new SubVI in Robot Main so kicking runs in parallel with drive.
