Thats one of the easiest assumptions. They're running the motors straight off of the battery, so the speed of the output is defined only by the battery voltage. Its rather easy to say that they were running a fairly charged battery; most people don't run a battery to nothing and then use it to power a launcher. An easier assumption than the estimation of the size of those two sprockets.
