yes, by the looks of the gear above the wheels and the cim attached to the wheel.

Yes, that back wheel rotates on its own. The inspiration for the entire robot was basically a forklift, because it has two wheels in the front and one in the back, and an arm that raises and lowers. We haven't finished the arm code yet, but here is a video of our first drive test. This was very rough, but it's a lot better now.
