This article contains links to supplementary instructions for how to assemble the Teamwork field for the ADC Pro Mission 2026-2027 Off Grid competition. First review the ADC Pro Mission 2026-2027 Off Grid Competition Manual Section 7 (Teamwork Field) for the primary assembly and layout instructions. Information in the Competition Manual and Official ADC Pro Q&A take precedence in the cases where information in this article may differ.
ADC Pro Competition field equipment can be purchased directly from Drone Competition Gates.
Teamwork Field Equipment
A complete, 20’x20’ Teamwork field consists of the following:
| Qty | SKU | Name | Notes |
| 2 | ADCP-101 or ADCP-201* | ADC Pro 10' x 20' Teamwork Mission Field Perimeter | *The ADCP-201 kit includes everything but the PVC, which can be purchased locally if physically equivalent (PVC Parts List) |
| 2 | ADCP-TG001 | ADC Pro Mission 2026 Teamwork Mission Game Element Kit |
Most schools will only need to purchase a half-field to prepare for competitions, which would include only one of each of the Field Perimeter and Teamwork Game element kits. If you will be hosting an event, you will need the full Teamwork field. To save costs, consider borrowing equipment from an attending team.
IMPORTANT: First review Section 7 of the ADC Pro Mission 2026-2027 Off Grid Competition Manual. The additional instructions below will help you with assembling the individual elements.
Teamwork Field Perimeter Kit
The ADCP-101 Teamwork Field Perimeter consists of 1” PVC pipes, connectors, bungee cords and bags to transport the PVC pipes. Often teams will want to save on shipping costs and purchase the PVC pipes locally. The ADCP-201 kit contains everything except for the 5’ PVC pipes for a cost effective option.
Instructions for assembling the Field Perimeter
Tips:
- The height of the Field Perimeter is a few inches more than 10 feet due to the thickness of the PVC pipes. It’s recommended that the ceiling height be at least 11 feet to avoid interference.
- When setting up both sides of the Field Perimeter at an event, be sure to review the spacing requirements between the two Field Perimeter assemblies specified in the Competition Manual Section 7.
Teamwork Game Element Kit
A single Teamwork Game Element Kit (ADCP-TG001) includes half of the elements needed for a 10’ x 20’ Field Perimeter. To set up a full, 20’x 20’, Teamwork Field for a competition, two Teamwork Game Element Kits are required.
Note: A single Teamwork Game Element Kit comes with (2) Pump assemblies. There will be extra parts when purchasing two Game Element kits.

Comms Tower Assembly

Comms Tower Assembly Instructions
Cooling Pool Assembly
Each Teamwork Field has (4) Cooling Pools. Two Cooling Pools come in each Teamwork Field Half-Kit.
Cooling Pool Assembly Instructions
Pump Assembly
The Pumps are assembled the same, but are attached to the Field Perimeter differently depending if the Pump is the center Pump or one of the side Pumps. See Section 7 of the Mission 2026 ADC Pro for the dimensions to attach the Pumps to the Field Perimeter. The Pumps should be centered between the two Field Perimeters so that they extend equally on both sides.
Important assembly notes:
- Only attach one circular piece initially since the PVC pipe spans both fields and needs to go through the net. Once the long PVC pipe is through both nets, then the second circular piece can be attached.
- EPs can glue the Pump assembly sleeve parts together if they are noticing movement of these pieces. Using a rubber mallet to connect the pieces securely is also effective.

Power Cell Assembly
The Power Cells come in two pieces that need to be secured together using (2) Zip Ties so they do not slide apart when moved. Try to keep the two pieces perpendicular to each other when securing them. Cut any excess Zip Tie material.
