Current Draw vs. Stall current

I am currently working on a new drive train for our off-season robot chassis. I am using JVN's Design Calculator, and it is saying that, at Max Continuous Load for our High Gear (15fps), the current draw per motor is 121.57 Amps. I looked at the Cim Motor specs, and it says that the stall current is 107 Amps.

Does this mean that if the robot stalls in High Gear, the robot will trip a fuse, or blow the Jaguar into my favorite blue smoke of death?

Thanks,
