I just used a very light gray for the background. As long as there's no gradient, I don't have trouble cutting in Paint.NET at all.
As long as R0B0SH4RK doesn't eliminate me in Round 2 of the Loser's bracket for the third time, then I'm okay.
Don't worry NFX, I won't be a jerk about it. I'll thrash you in the winners bracket instead, and if you somehow drag yourself out of the depths of loser-dom, I'll crush you once again in the finals 
Y'know, just 'cuz I'm a nice guy.
It's cool, it's really only because you've eliminated me from the tournament in Round 2 of the Loser's Bracket twice before. =] I'm sure we'll both do better than that this time around, though, yours looks like it could go all the way.
I'm gonna try to give my opinion on all the machines here.
CubeShark 2 - Not going to go very far, unfortunately, there's quite a few ways this could be improved.
Some Bacond From Canada - Your typical undercutting HS. Although it doesn't look invertible to me, and it's probably going OOTA against a good flipper.
LW-SnSnS - An excellent design from 123, though I'm not sure about the weapon choice. Could be one of the dark horses.
Zombi13 - Not sure what the razor on top is doing, but FSS generally do well. Perhaps the weapon layout could have been done slightly better.
Ya Flippin' Cube - Some funky-looking extender work going on at thr front, but it's a double BSG flipper, so it should do well depending on wedginess.
Thwack*Thwack*Thwack - I thought click said it had an axle on it? Still a very interesting design, and I can't wait to see this in action.
Mad Mod - Exposed weapon extenders might be a problem, but it looks nippy. If they hold up, it could pull one or two surprises.
WTF,Mate!? - Indeed. Too fast for its own good. Makes quite a good launch ramp, though.
Orange^3 - Looks very deadly. Here's hoping it does better than BBEANS 6.
EXILE'S RETURN - A nice take on the Cube Flipper, in my view, depends on the wedginess again. Very nice design, though.
Dharak - Angled VS, I think this looks quite good. I reckon it could go quite far.
The Good Doctor - Fail, but it's so adorable that I don't care. <3
Mothbite EvoX4 - Nice job making a LW Side Hammer, but it's wedge looks suspect, and the extenders do look vulnerable. Maybe a couple of wins.
The Epic - Possibly an upset or two? Wedges look okay, but it's lack of weaponry might let it down.
Fretless - Looks like it could go far, this one. Side Panels seem to interfere with the wedginess to me, but the proof is in the pudding.
Mr. Yummy - I can't see this going too far. Too slow for an SnS, not enough reach, and a lack of invertibility are going to hurt it badly.
Green Pea - As long as it's balanced, I reckon it could do fairly well. May pull off one or two surprises.
Minor Conflict - Somewhat too tall for an FSS. May pull out an upset, but I wouldn't put my money on this one.
Cube Plough - SFTW. That is all.
Hydromobile From The West - Hmm. Looks hopeless, and it probably will be. But at least it knows it's hopeless.
Xception - One of the coolest bots in the tourney. Knowing JoeBlo, it should win at least a couple of fights, and it will look awesome in death.
Cactus Panda - LW Drum? Very curious design, especially with the Ronin Flags on top (5HP, IIRC?). May be capable of a couple of wins, but I'm not too sure.
Dark Fusion - I like the design of this. Possibly could use a bit more weaponry, and I don't know about self-righting at all, but it could pull a few surprises.
Forever Alone - I've forgotten what this does, is it a rammer? If it is, I think some better weapons could have been chosen, but it should win at least one match.
Face Slasher - Interesting idea, but I don't think Piglet Sawblades are a good choice. We saw that in BBEANS 6.
Silver Devil - One to watch, for sure. Certainly capable of making the final, but it all rests on that wedge. (Like it does for every popup)
Stripy Dube - Nice gimmick, but...no. Most likely heading out of the competition very early.
(x+1)(x-2)(x-4) - Another one of my favourites. Angled HS, looks a bit unusual. Should win a couple matched, but will be trashed by the popups going around.
All-American - Nice use of the LX Motors. Not sure about the extender setup, and it looks a bit slow to me. Maybe one or two matches if it's lucky.
Kobalos - Excellent design, but it looks much too slow. Maybe it can pull a Missile Test, we'll have to wait and see.
Krypton 2 - Looks alright, this one. Extenders look quite fragile, but it could do well, I think it's one to look out for.
Wheels Are Tasty 4 1/2 - What can I say? I turned in a Final Z klone. As long as nothing hits the Mag, I should do quite well.
Tiger Uppercut - No razors...? Nice looking flipper, though, and knowing Nar, it'll be wedgy as
. Should go quite far.
Triturator - Obscure name, but very nice looking bot. One of my favourite designs, and it should win a couple of matches, but will lose to anything with a wedge, really.
SkRillEX2 - Very flimsy extender work. Looks like it could do alright, but I'm not holding too many hopes for it.
Precision Impact 2 - Dual Mag sucks, if I remember rightly. Very curious design, and I'm not sure it'll win much.
Rubik - Those ARE Beater Bars. I don't think it'll do very well, personally, but it could upset a couple of members.
Mirror Matter - Looks very nice, although wedges and VS tend not to mix. And it might be a bit too fast. We'll have to wait and see on this one.
Fire Ant - As I said earlier, probably my tip to win. Not much else I can really say about it, and good luck should we meet up along the line.
Mini Metal Man - Strange, but it could prove oddly effective. Might spring a couple of surprises on the competition.
Cube Or Cuboid - AON as a cube, I should've seen that earlier. I like the design very much, and I hope it does do well here.
Constanstinople - Spellcheck much? =P Will proabably be annoying as
and refuse to die, but could be OOTA'd easily, and I'm not too sure about the weaponry. May possibly do alright, though.
Jaws Of Defeat 3 - Wedges will kill it easily, but I think it could do well against almost everything else, maybe even VS. Could be another dark horse.
Mini Minesweeper - Hooray! Very nice design, but I'm not sure about wedginess. I reckon it might do okay, though, should win a couple of fights.
Halcyon - Could be very wedgy, and could surprise a lot of people. Motors look to be angled poorly, though, and could be gone quite quickly if someone gets a run at them.
Lil' Cubezorz - I like this design. Might not be that effective, but it's definitely unique. I think it could win one or two fights as well.
Garrote - I think it's a brilliant design, but I'm a Side Panel whore. I think it could do quite well, however, as long as it doesn't meet anything too wedgy.
SnSnSnS 6 - Very odd weapon of choice. And the motor positioning looks wierd as
. I won't discount it yet, though, it could be one to watch out for.
Satan's Hard Drive - Your typical Flail Sheck Spinner, and a surprisingly good entry from ol' Sparkey. Could actually do quite well, as long it's not especially Havoky.
Force 2.6 Beta - I like the look of this, personally. Could actually do very well if luck is on its side.
RISK - Odd weapon setup, and I'd have angled them inwards, personally. Lack of wedge will come back to bite it, however.
Hazardous Area - Looks effective, maybe could have used stronger flipper panels. Should be a strong contender, though.
Im Back - Looks okay at first glance, but I think it's too fast, the extenders at the back seem out of place, and the weaponry's dragging along the floor, so...unfortunately, I can't see it doing too well.
Shilka II - Interesting, to say the least. Could be a surprise, depending on how wedgy it is.
Deadly Pointer v3 - I KNEW someone would enter a wall. As with all walls, it should last a lifetime and do very well against anything that isn't a wedge. Until it gets flipped over.
Soul Provider - Quite an interesting design, I think. Maybe the weapons are a bit far apart, but I think it could win a couple of matches.
Bane Revolution II - Looks very deadly. As long as it stays balanced, I think this could go all the way.
Iron Star 2.4 - Typically, Irons aren't that good, but aside from that, it looks like an alright design. Wedges remain to be seen.
Disaster Box - Very nice looking VS. This could also be one to watch, although popups might be quick to kill it, and stability could be an issue if it's not careful.
BURNING WAFFLE - Yeah, it's not particularly great, is it? Weapon setup's not best, and I don't think it's invertible either.
