Vortex Victory in the Valley - Reseda CHS - ADC Fast Track 2026

Reseda High School and the Reseda Regents Robotics Team are delighted to host our "11th Annual Reseda High School Tournament” featuring the ADC Fast Track Mission 2027 Game. The event is open to 30 middle or high school ADC teams. This year's event will be hosted in Reseda's new Multipurpose Room. 

There will be a concession stand selling prepackaged items, and many food options in the Reseda community surrounding the campus will be available. 

There will be Teamwork Fields and Skills Fields at this event.

Teams are expected to conduct themselves with the sportsmanship and gracious behavior that are core values in RECF. Judges and Referees will give strong consideration to these traits in students and adults when considering teams for awards. All teams are expected to follow the rules of conduct. Teams that fail to comply may be disqualified from the tournament without a refund. 

If your team is not checked in by 8:15 a.m., your team will have to be dropped so that the match schedule can be run unless the lead mentor contacts the Event Partner. Please submit your Engineering Notebooks digitally for evaluation via a link. For VVV, only digital  Engineering Notebooks will be accepted.

The submission deadline for digital notebooks will be Wednesday, October 31st by 5:00 pm. 

Unfortunately, we cannot make any exceptions to this deadline. 

TEAM PAYMENT: Teams must be paid one week before the event. Teams not paid by this time may be dropped at the event partner's discretion to allow teams from the waitlist in.

Judging Information

Reseda CHS and Reseda Regents Robotics, Team 20, is committed to providing a fair, consistent, and student-centered judging experience. All judging at this event will follow the current REC Foundation Judging Guide and will be administered by trained volunteer judges.

Engineering Notebooks

Teams wishing to be considered for judged awards that require an Engineering Notebook must upload their digital submissions through the competition web portal.  The notebook submission deadline is midnight on Saturday, October 31, 2026.  This pre-tournament deadline allows the judges to preview all the team notebooks prior to the day of the Tournament. 

Team Interviews

Team interviews will be conducted on a walk-up basis during the competition.

There are no scheduled interview times. Teams are encouraged to visit the judging area when they have sufficient time between matches and other competition activities. If necessary, a portion of the team may complete the interview while other team members continue preparing for or competing in matches.

During the interview, students should be prepared to discuss:

• Their Competition Logbook

• Communications Mission

• Coding/Autonomous Flight Mission

• Airmanship

• Challenges encountered and how they overcame them

• Lessons learned throughout the season

If the Event Partner cancels the event: 

All entry fees that have been paid will be reimbursed, minus RECF Events processing fees, after RECF Events distributes all fees to the Event Partner. Contact the Event Partner at dtr2123@lausd.net and provide payment information, including Payee, mailing address, number of teams being refunded, and primary financial contact email and phone number. This process does take time, so please be patient as we, the Event Partner and associated organizations, work to get you your refund.  

If a Coach/Mentor completes registration for the event, then chooses to withdraw or not attend:

Event payments are expected when you register for this event and must be completed a minimum of 2 weeks before the event date. Unpaid teams will be removed from the event, allowing space for teams on the waitlist. Due to the financial commitment on the part of the event venue, no refunds will be possible. Thank you for your understanding. It is essential that all teams check in before 8:00 a.m. Please contact Daniel Riedinger at dtr2123@lausd.net.

Please notify Daniel Riedinger at dtr2123@lausd.net as quickly as possible. We will need to accept teams from the waitlist, and they will need time to plan.
