Look at http://www.inp.nsk.su/~dolgash/triz/
Does its job better than TRIZ consultants

One example where I used TRIZ was in building a Lego Mindstorms robot. It had too many structural supports which was slowing it down, but obviously, it shouldn't break. So in TRIZ, you enter in under to improve: "weight of binding object" and undesired effect: "stability of object". Then you read the 4 results. The one that applies to Lego Mindstorms is "Segmentation", so instead of having a single platform that everything was connected to, I segmented the supports into 3 parts for each functionally different part of the robot. Then I found I could make the parts much smaller when they each had their own clearly defined purpose, and it solved my problem.
