Throughout the vast open-air complex, party goers battled it out robotics style, “Fighting Robots for Fun”: Kung-Fu Androids, Small Combat Robots, Soccer Androids...
A brave Googler got himself soaked at the “Dunk the Google Guy” booth.
A team of six Google DJs got guests on the Club G dance floor, while teams of guests entertained fellow party goers virtual karaoke style.
