Line 6:
The original ROTSE-I had 4 telephoto lenses of 11 cm aperture, covering a 16x16 degree field of view. This detected the first afterglow of a GRB while the burst was still ongoing, but this was the only burst detected by ROTSE or the very similar [[Livermore Optical Transient Imaging System]]. Therefore, ROTSE-II was designed, also featuring a large field of view, but it was never built, since new satellites such as [[HETE-2]] and SWIFT could provide smaller error boxes, making a huge field of view unnecessary. This led to the design of ROTSE-III, a more or less conventional telescope designed for fast slewing and operation at multiple locations around the world.<ref>{{cite arXiv |title=The ROTSE-III robotic telescope system
