engineering notes; (thank you youtube)
→ define the problem, be both specific and open minded.
you could say "I need to make a better lawn mower"
or
you could say "I need to reduce the length of grass across 2 acres"
the first limits your options, the second allows you to think outside the box.
→ when building, imagine that it is broken and try to reverse-engineer what went wrong. this will allow you to consider the potential weak points in your design.
