launcher fires by an automatic trigger that senses the line., so that the ball leaves the barrel exactly as the muzzel passes over the line.

landing/bouncing on the line is still considered the same, rolling would only happen after initial contact anyway.
you'd want to measure timing by having the trigger engage when the chamber passes over the line, not muzzle, as when the ball is leaving the muzzle, it's already moving.
