Aerial Drone Competition Pro Expo
FFA National Convention | October 21–23, 2026
Join us at the FFA National Convention for a hands-on Aerial Drone Competition (ADC) Pro Expo!
On October 21–22, teams will have the opportunity to work directly with Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (RECF) and MINDS-i staff to learn how to build, operate, and code their drones and ground robots for ADC Pro.
Throughout the Expo, teams will have access to practice fields where they can test their equipment, develop their skills, and collaborate with other teams to explore strategies for both Teamwork and Solo Matches in Mission 2026–27: Off Grid.
Then, on October 23, teams can put everything they have learned into action by participating in an ADC Pro Scrimmage! This will be a fun, low-pressure opportunity to experience match play, test strategies, and showcase the skills developed during the Expo.
Whether your team is brand new to ADC Pro or already preparing for the competition season, the Expo is designed to provide hands-on experience, technical support, practice, and collaboration, all in one place.
