Fuses can be blown by stalling the motor, causing over-current. Also easy to blow fuses if you are using alligator clip connections to the motor supply tabs. Solder some heavy gauge stranded wire in two different lengths to those tabs and shrink some insulation over them. Then make your motor connections to those wires at the offset other ends. This will reduce the number of accidental shorts and save you a bunch of fuses.

You can over tighten the clamp on the gearbox housing also...trust me, my new FTC team found that out the hard way.
