I think it may have some small benefit in practice-of-thinking, if you get into mechanism building:

  • Solving problems in digital logic and 3-dimensional spatial layout.
  • Planning for sufficient space available for a mechanism, especially if you want it hidden in walls between rooms and no bigger than necessary.
  • Debugging.

But the majority of the time spent is probably no better than any other grinding.
