Minibot motors/fuses

We have burned out our minibot motors since ship day, and we want to try to make sure that we don't burn any out during competition, since they're 50 bucks a set.

Does reducing the amperage of the fuse in the battery actually help? I don't know a lot about electronics. If we put in a smaller amperage fuse, will it blow when the motors stall, before the motors burn out? What amperage fuse should be used, instead of the original 20 amp fuse?
