on an auto, you would call it a flywheel.

Might you be thinking of driven wheel? Not exact in meaning but close.

Thanks Randy. Yep - I think "drive wheel" is probably the right term.

In my original post, I should have specified that I meant a wheel that =
touched the ground and transferred power to that wheel through an =
attached gear/pulley. So I guess "drive wheel" is it. Still, I was =
thinking that there is a term for differentiating between a wheel that =
is attached directly to a pulley/gear vs. one that is attached to a =
power source through an axle. The whole point of my quest for this term =
is to make searching on the net for such items easier.

Anyway - thanks !

Not based on *my* understanding of what a flywheel is used for. I was =
looking for a term to describe a wheel that touches the ground, and =
moves the (in this case) robot about. Power gets transferred to it by =
means of a gear or pulley attached directly to that wheel, instead of a =
wheel that is attached directly to a motor shaft.

But, anyway, its a good try at getting me more educated! :)
Thanks!

It's only a flywheel if the point is that its heavy.  I think he wants
some sort of driven wheel.
