VEXos 1.0.9 voltage control and velocity control issues

Did you try to report motor temperature?

Could your power loss be caused by the temperature triggers cutting the power?

Using Motor Temperature Block

That looks correct, although power is hard to determine exactly. We limit current to 1.25A, that causes use of 25% in input power from battery (for a stalled motor), but I’ve never calculated what that would mean in terms of output power. Once you hit 70% of temperature limit, the motor probably doesn’t have too much practical use on a competition robot. In text you can read temperature directly in deg C or deg F, not sure why the blocks team went with percentage.

I don’t see anything unusual around C14 and R12, that’s just normal flux residue. So from completely cold, how long before the motor overheats ? Once the motor gets that hot, it’s quite normal for it to take 30-40 minutes to cool down again (back to ambient temperature)
