Many ways, the main one being a group of 20+ people including students tell that they did, maybe I'm an optimist but I like to believe an entire FRC team isn't going to lie to my face. It's the same way I know a team didn't put some hazardous material inside any of their extrusion, they tell me they didn't. I don't require them to take apart their robot to prove it's not there.

If you want more evidence a team could have photos of them constructing them, or they could have a sample bumper section they are willing to take apart.
