Using simple serial with arduino

What I have now seems to all work correctly over xbee and the pots are distinguished using S,B,G for steer, brake,gas pots.

That's not the impression I get.

Ok...so what is it I need to change?

int potPinS = A0;
int potPinB = A1;
int potPinG = A2;

is a start. Change the names of val, val1, val2, lastVal, lastVal1, and lastVal2, too.
