Worm Gear Drive

I know some teams I spoke to this season mentioned problems with worm gears breaking. What are the best ways to build a gearbox with a worm drive included? What are good material choices and types of gears? Both for arm applications, or for drive train applications as recently shown by 269.
If you have built a worm drive gearbox what were some problems you experienced, and what are some tips and tricks you would recommend?
