Neat trick! I don't recall there being any wooden motors, nor have I noticed many pneumatic actuators made of wood. Even pinewood derby cars have steel axles, polystyrene wheels and (usually) lead weights.
Seriously, no reason at all not to use wood for the functions for which it is suitable. Now if I could just convince our head coach - excepting our rookie year, he has vetoed every proposed use of cellulose on the competition robot.
