2-Wire Motor 269 Discontinue

[jpearman]

Perhaps JVN or Ricky could let us know the reason for discontinuing the part.

Low sales volume?
End of life component?
New product on the way? Perhaps a “smart motor” like the VEX IQ product?

I’m not sorry to see it go, I doubt we would have ever bought more for competition use as we have enough for the low power applications.

Edit:
Perhaps the original reason for building the 269 is now irrelevant, quoting Paul from last year.

@Paul Copioli

During the development of the new motors (393 and 269) there was a lot of debate within IFI about whether we needed to have both the 393 and the 269 or just move to the 393. The discussion was entirely focused on how our customers would react. As I had just started at IFI, it was my first real look into just how much this company cares about the customers. The final argument that kept the 269 was that we needed a motor that could fit in where the 3 wire motor fit and had the exact same motor performance as the 3-Wire. As you know, the 269 is slightly smaller than the 3-wire motor and the 393 is significantly larger.
