Motor Stall

I am running a gear motor on my robot's sholder. It is 6 to 24 volts (I am running about 11 to 12 volts) and draws 90 to 150 mA. I accidentally ran it past a stop and stripped the gears when it stalled. Can I prevent this from happening again with a fuse? If so what amperage should the fuse be?

Source For Blown Fuse?

I'm going nuts. I've blown a bunch of fuses over the past few days and can't figure out what the cause of the problem is. My robot works for about 5 minutes and then just suddenly conks out. Wouldn't a short circuit blow the fuse almost immediately? Anyone have any tips on how to find the problem?
