Photos: TechEd lets loose

Attendees of Microsoft's TechEd 2011 let loose on the Thursday night with a "Fun Factory" full of go karts, sports, karaoke, Kinect and... stormtroopers.

on Sep 2 2011 6:00AM

Stormtroopers toured the grounds of MIcrosoft's "Fun Factory" at TechEd 2011, taking pictures with delighted fans.

The night included four different sections, including a go kart set up in the carpark of the Gold Coast exhibition centre.

The Porsche, a requisite for any fun-park sideshow.

To no one's surprise, the line to ride the go karts was one of the longest of the night. However, many were dismayed that would-be drivers were breath tested and required to have zero blood alcohol before driving.

Sports filled the foyer once previously dedicated to the TechEd technology showcase.

Those keen to catch some dinner were also privy to a rather intense ping pong tournament.
