Our school, Saguaro High School, has a nationally known rivalry with 3019's school, Chaparral. Our football game is televised every year because both stands are always completely full. In the past, there has been violence surrounding the game, and most years there's some act of vandalism between the two schools.
Regardless of the rivalry in every other program (including other science competitions) our robotics teams work closely with each other. We share a mentor, a bit of build space, tools and a lot of knowledge.
I remember last year at the Arizona Regional one of our programmers was over in their pit helping them right up until they had to go into a match against us.
