What you need is a couple of black and white Launcher Ducks (Superbirds, I think they are called) to set off your latest invention ……. With your advanced radio control console you could possibly even get control of the bird  – now that I would like see!!

the white tube one is one i found on the web,, I haven't built one like that yet !! but i like the design,, and would be very easy to point one one way and the other the other way.
Luckily i already had a decent remote control handset and the servo's because a few years back i built a remote control boat,, but thats no longer used, so parts are all coming from that, hence the low cost so far.
I can control up to 4 servo's and could probably control 2 launchers per servo,, but then we get to the stage of needing to buy X ammount of handheld launchers,,
I deff like the strength of the white tube one,, and also it will be much lighter than the wooden version.
Must admit my mind started wandering towards a compressed air system to avoid having to buy another 8 or however many launchers.
that needs some though,,,, have a pump that will go to 3500 psi and the plastic pipe will hold compressed air nicely,, just depends on how much air i can get within a small ammount of tubing and how much that air will propel the dummy off the end.......
that does mean that once each one is fired, it will need pumping back up,, but 8 times lets say £65 for the launchers is a fair few squids.
