The Robot Chicken Hat is a community-created promotional cosmetic item for all classes. It consists of a partial metal lid that covers the upper right half of the head, with team-colored, jiggly spikes on top, representing a comb, and one eye with a team-colored light for a pupil, connected to the hat via a pair of team-colored and yellow wires. An orange beak is placed at the very front of the hat, next to the eye.
This item has two styles, named "Normal" and "Beakless". The "Beakless" style removes the beak, and makes the comb slightly taller.
The Robot Chicken Hat was given in Genuine quality to players who signed up for the free Adult Swim newsletter and redeemed the code e-mailed to them. Players who signed up before June 27, 2012, received their codes on June 28, 2012, and those who signed before July 4, 2012, received their codes on July 5, 2012.
The Robot Chicken Hat was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.

- The description is both a reference to the classic "Why did the chicken cross the road?" joke and the intro to the show Robot Chicken prior to its sixth season.
