I don't think FIRST will issue a speed limit like they did in 2006. 2006 was the first competition with projectiles and I think the speed limit they enforced that year was more of a precaution than anything.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a velocity that the frisbees can be effectively launched at that is also safe for human impact. That being said, if a robot at competition repeatedly shoots frisbees out of the field in an unsafe manner, I assume the refs will issue a warning followed by a yellow card for additional aggregious infractions.
