Maybe they are referring to the new (?) connectors that come in the Robotics
Discovery Set.  The RDS comes with a kind of 3-stud friction pin that I've

except that one stud width is actually a collar that can accept the end of an
axle. (Sorry, I'm not in the presence of my Lego collection at the moment, so
I can't snap a picture.)

If so, they look interesting, but not necessarily a compelling reason to buy
an upgrade...
