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.

It just can't look like a tool chest with wheels. I've completed a mini scale of the autonomous bot with the rover chassis and I have the parts...

Hbridge

I am relatively new to robotics, so here goes a dumb question. Since EzB can drive servos, what is the advantage or reason for using an Hbridge? Does it drive the same kind of servos or does it drive bigger servos? Thanks.
