I'm not going to let the cat out of the bag of which Elgin and Ted had been hinting at in previous posts but Elgin did make a Home Depot run for supplies and it looks like we're on the right track. We tried making a trigger device and a way to control the projectory of the bottle. The trigger device isn't working the way that it should but it looks like we're on the right track and it needs some tweaking.
The idea we're using is simple and inexpensive and all the materials needed are at any home center or hardware store, heck you might even have some of the stuff laying around at your house already. Like I said, once it gets finalized I'm sure they'll tell you how it works and even include some photos and maybe even a video.
