What is a stated limitation of traditional drain grates and screens in preventing clogs?
They are too expensive to install.
They require constant manual cleaning.
Their small openings allow trash to slip through.
They are prone to rust and corrosion.
What is the primary method used by the students' prototype to move collected trash?
A conveyor belt system.
A hydraulic piston mechanism.
A robotic arm for manual removal.
An elevator-like mechanism.
