  I did use Copilot for two of my functions, one of which was TiltSurface() found in the Biker Script, and the other found in the update function in the UI script.
 

6. Did you get help from any online websites, videos, or tutorials?

  Used this forum post for help with adding forward acceleration: https://discussions.unity.com/t/rigidbody-addforce-forward-locally/42371?clickref=1101lzS57jJS&utm_source=partnerize&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=unity_affiliate

7. What trouble did you have with this project?

  I honestly had a good bit of trouble all throughout this assignment, but the largest part that caused me problems was the whole mechanics realting to the ramps, as I still cannot get it to work the way it should be.
 

8. Is there anything else we should know?

  I outlined it a bit in my burndown chart, but to talk about it a bit here, I realized that I took too many work heavy/hard classes this semester which has made it very difficult for me to focus on and do work for this class.
