Motorola just launched a new CLIQ phone, so what better way to celebrate than to invite a bunch of tech geeks to Morimoto to drink, chat, and play with robots?

More story and photos below...

The music was provided by Chromeo and Holyghost!, Morimoto provided drinks and food (naturally), and Motorola provided the robots, and some sort of helmet/laser gun contraption that happily we're not dorky** enough to be able to identify. The best part? Every attendee left with a complimentary Motorola Droid, the newest smartphone threat to the iPhone.

Sittin' around, talking about robots...
