Maybe I'm not the first to suggest this Tilt Variant, but today I was having a great game on Xmen and my ball was stuck in the play field. It's happened to everyone several times, but I had to move the machine to get the ball free. Unfortunately, I tilted.

Tilt Variant Idea: Change the Tilt so that if there is no scoring in the last minute on the machine, disable the tilt, so I can get the ball free and continue my game. This seems like it would be easy to implement and would not penalize players for something out of their control.

Taking the glass off is a pain in the neck in the middle of a great game. Kills the momentum....

Reminds me of the song Paradise by the Dashboard light. All I want is to give the machine a good knock while the machine is performing a ball find.

Quoted from BobLangelius:
Maybe the feature should be to disable the tilt after a ballsearch and no subsequent switch events?

Enable the tilt after it sees the ball back on the playfield.

I like this variant the best. Then again, RTR's link was a close second.
