No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup is definitely related.

No, it's more like the opposite of No Plans, No Prototype, since the point is the character's ability to easily whip up a new machine without planning or effort, not the inability to duplicate it. I think Gadgeteer Genius covers it adequately.

Is there a trope for someone who can build a complex machine without using any sort of blueprints or testing and have it work perfectly the first time?
