Hold button on back of ADT-1 for approximately 10 seconds or until device reboots to boot into fastboot.
$ fastboot boot insecure-boot.img
This will enable root through adb.
Extract adt-su.zip then run the following to install su binary :
$ adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
$ adb shell mount -o rw,remount /
$ adb push /EXTRACTED/ZIP/LOCATION/adt-su /tmp/supersu
$ adb shell
. /tmp/supersu/install
Credit goes giantpune for stock boot.img
Credit goes to chainfire for su binary

What benefits can I get out of rooting my ADT-1?
I'm not asking why root in general because I have an N5, N7, and TF101 that are all rooted running xposed mods and custom kernels. I'm asking if there's anything out there for the ADT-1 that can increase its functionality with root.
