I hope they have a simple way to inforce this rule or I see another "what is entanglemant?" debate we had a couple of years ago.

I think the inspection that the robot goes through before you can compete will probably include a speed test of your robots throwing speed. And if the judges or an official thinks that you changed your launcher they will make you test it again. thats the most logical thing i can think of since i dont think each ref will have a radar gun.
