you don't have the 2006 rules saved on your computer?

<S02>  Muzzle Velocity - No ROBOT may throw a ball 
with an exit velocity of greater than 12 m/s (26.8 mph). As 
a reference, a ball traveling at this velocity when leaving 
the ROBOT at an angle of 30º from horizontal with no spin 
will travel approximately 35 feet. A robot that violates this 
rule will be considered unsafe per <S01>.
