The initial design hasn't included a clamp yet. I didn't see that episode of the Mythbusters but when we were sitting around the table discussing ideas Jeff (Ogre) brought up the idea of clamping something onto the neck of the bottle. If that's what the Mythbusters did then that has been given some thought.

We are 90% sure the control of the projectory has been figured out/solved. That way we can keep the bottle from going near houses, cars, people, ect.
We just can't do anything about birds and insects though!
