also how about gravity fed trbuchet style or bow and string mangonels. crossbowish stuff.
so basically simply put the list gets to be

angular kinetic energy (flywheels and the such)
gravitational potential energy (obvious)
elastic potential energy (bows. cross bows. springs. bungees)
compressed gas
electrical(as in motors so i guess this is kinda angular kinetic)
mind power(technically unless you need to send radio waves from your head you dont even need to have the driver do this. someone in the stands can do this.. and even shoot down opponent's shots. but maybe violates GP? i unno
some sort of chemical reaction or sumthing. probably not legal
