	Cobra Chicken was the first combat robot designed and built by Ryan Lu. Ryan Lu began designing Cobra Chicken after watching the NHRL 2022 new bots event, and was convinced after many years of following combat robotics to enter as a competitor. Its overall shape was inspired by "meta" heavyweights at the time such as Witch Doctor and Hypershock, and was chosen as a low-risk, proven design to be an entry point into combat robotics.

	Over the remainder of 2022, Cobra Chicken received a number of changes to improve mechanical reliability, but would retain mechanical part interchangeability and electrical components from the first iteration. The most noteable change was the transition to a standoff-reinforced drisk design inspired by [[Peter Garnache]]'s [[Ablation]]. With vastly improved weapon reliability, Cobra Chicken would end 2022 with two 1st place finishes at local events around the Southern US area.

	Cobra Chicken's first iteration was plagued with issues due to poor design choices. ~~Due to Ryan Lu's previous drone building history, Cobra Chicken~~ was originally designed to run off ~~the same~~ 4s 1300 mAh LiPo as ~~his~~ ~~freestyle~~ ~~drone~~ ~~battery~~ of ~~choice~~. It used Robot Matter 1806 gearmotors as drive, and the typical Propdrive 2836 for weapon. Due to limited resources, the original chassis was entirely 3D-printed and suffered endless mechanical problems. During its first event, Cobra Chicken would shatter its weapon hub and pulleys in all of its four fights, and be forced to run a single disk after running out of spares. Its armor package never survived more than one hit before being forcefully removed from the robot.		Cobra Chicken's first iteration was plagued with issues due to poor design choices.
