I'm a little bit tired of explaining that being a Mechanic does not automatically make you an intelligent gizmo inventing genius. A mechanic can range anywhere between a guy who does maintenance on appliances or vehicles to someone who actually does put things together like an inventor of sorts. They do not have to be super intelligent and they don't have to be able to invent anything. That's not what a mechanic is.

Best Inventor would judge solely on the new things that character has created; his or her own unique inventions is what we'd look at.
