The GDC's wording could have been better, IMO, I think they meant this:

<G19> means . . . . Energy for vertical movement may not be stored in the MINIBOT before DEPLOYMENT (except within the battery and excluding incidental kinetic energy stored in the motors or wheels, but NOT, for example, in a flywheel)..

They just used a few unnecessary words ("that which is contained") which create potential confusion because they are unnecessary. A flywheel is just an example of what is not within the exception for "incidental kinetic energy." There is no other exception.
