Hi Adrian, the new mindstorms is using standard plugs as known from telephone systems. At least this is what the "experts" said in Frechen yesterday.

(...) Not that hard really - Most of the studless sets I have played with are not beam type constructions in 3D. They all tend to be layers of 2D beams pinned together like sandwiches. If you look at most of the new studless technic sets the large (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) This is the exact reason why it took me so long to warm to studless construction, When I gave it a try I found it very hard to build stable 3 dimensional boxes. Lately I've been using it successfully in two dimensions allied to conventional (...) (19 years ago, 7-Jan-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) My gut feeling is no. Their is no need for Technic to have a six wire flex. I'm pretty sure it's more expensive from a manufacturing point of view and it's bulkier.
