Humans have figured out alot of efficient designs for simple problems a long time ago. A complex machine/design is *usually* a combination or a puzzle of various simple designs already understood by most designers but modified or combined in novel ways. You may already know how a similar object works, and you just look for how this object works differently and why, is it better? Cheaper? Unique supply design challenges?
