Is this possible?

I want to put a dredge on my ROV like the one in this same section that operates using a Bilge pump and the venturi effect for suction. I also want a manipulator arm with a gripper. I am planning to use my ROV to search some local waterways for old bottles and possibly old coins. I have the ROV in a box from inventivity as I am not much of an inventor and needed something that I could just basically assemble. My question is do you guys that are familiar with this type of ROV think that it will handle these attachments? I have a friend that can do the wiring for the arm and the dredge will just be a matter of mounting and running power to the bilge pump, but is there any other issues with adding these things to my ROV? Thanks for your thoughts.
