Linear Powered Vehicle for engineering

I have to build a linear powered vehicle carrying one person who provides power, to be run around a 100 ft long figure 8 track for engineering... any ideas?

Mandatory specs:

max 4'x3'

driver no more then 18" off ground

Powered by one person

Straight line linear pumping motion and elastic must create energy and motion of vehicle

No stored energy (flywheel etc)

Motion must come from both pumping and elastic (in other words, if either the person or the elastic was not present the vehicle would not move)


Well? I have a few, but Im still working on it...
