is anyone else using a wood base for their robot?

We used wood for our robot's exterior last year, but we didn't use wood for the actual base. Our base took more hits than our exterior and the exterior was really worn down. Based on experience I don't recommend it and especially not this year because from what I heard at kickoff... a lot of teams say that power is one thing that they will try to have this year....
