You forgot "spend lots of money" in your flowchart above. I have personally invested (thrown away?) more than $1000 USD this year alone just trying different experiments to see what works and what doesn't.....

Andres, what you are describing is known as a "pick and place" machine. Many people have built their own. There's even a reprap subforum for it: Pick-and-Place Electronic Assembly
Typically they use a small hollow needle combined with a vacuum pump to grasp components. Here are some examples:

I know what you mean. Many times I have had some cool idea, only to find out later that it's a "Framstein's Widget" or whatever, well known for a hundred years...Quote

Not knowing the name doesn't sound like a big hurdle

I like to think that the phenomenon is similar to the idea of true name, wherein knowing the name of something gives you magical power over it...
