Because our team numbers are close our pit is often next to theirs like it was at MSC. We seem to be destined to be rivals rather than alliance partners but they are good friends and if we have to lose it is not so bad when they are on the other alliance. Our team has a lot of respect for 1918, they are good people that build good robots and are not afraid to share their insights.
If it is a rivalry, it certainly isn't by choice. It just always seems to work out that we are on opposite ends of the field. The Tech Vikes are great friends of the NC Gears, and I expect it to stay that way. Eventually, fate will put us on the same side of the glass during playoffs.

PS: We did play & win together at the 2014 WMRI. 1918 won West MI in 2015, but never faced 2054 in playoffs.
