I was intending to use a potentiometer to control the motor speed, however using an arduino seems rather overkill for this. So I will just do that directly.

I decided to build a car instead, so far this has 2 wheels and just goes forward.

#include <AFMotor.h>

AF_DCMotor motorA(3);
AF_DCMotor motorB(4);

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {
  // initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second:
  //Serial.begin(9600);
  motorA.setSpeed(100);
  motorA.run(RELEASE);
  motorB.setSpeed(100);
  motorB.run(RELEASE);
}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {

  
  
//Motor spinning clockwise
  motorA.run(FORWARD);
  //Speed up
  motorA.setSpeed(100);  
  motorB.run(FORWARD);
  //Speed up
  motorB.setSpeed(100); 
    


  }
