Servo Stops Working While Testing

I got a serious problem recently. Few days ago, I was testing the six. But after about 10 minutes, one of the servos didn't work, it's broken. Then I replaced it with another servo.

The Inverted Pendulum

@EZ Robot.... I know you don't have a control for it yet so I am going by the picture of it in the store only. I think I have a pretty good idea of how it works...

How Can Two Commands Be Run At The Same Time?

I am trying to get two commands to run at the same time ( without success ). For example: Left(1,2000) ControlCommand("Auto Position", AutoPositionFrame, "Stretch Left", 10,1,1) The program runs the first line, once that is completed then the next line runs. Is there a way to have them run simultaneously?
