The pod itself looks alot like 1075's in size and shape, but ours have a track instead of wheels, and our motors, gears, and shifting transmission are all housed inside the unit. 4 pins with clips and an electrical connector and a unit can be replaced with a spare.

At GTR we had a match with about a 30 minute turnaround, we broke both tracks. We had the spares on it, tested, working, ready to go, and we only missed the match because queueing falsely thought the match was underway and wouldn't let us in.

EDIT: and since the spares hadn't been used on the competition bot before, we had to drill all the holes for the bumper mounts in them, which took most of the time.
