Sweet, some great tips! Question - if I short out digital outputs (by accident, of course) would that be equivalent to shorting out the LiPo itself?
No the output pin has more resistance then the battery pack so it would blow something open well before the battery felt the full effects of the short circuit. Fusing your main battery pack is still a good idea, especially for Li-Po cells as they can source a lot of current and overheat and do bad things like catch on fire.
