  We provide an overview of the robotic Super-LOTIS (Livermore Optical
Transient Imaging System) telescope and present results from gamma-ray burst
(GRB) afterglow observations using Super-LOTIS and other Steward Observatory
telescopes. The 0.6-m Super-LOTIS telescope is a fully robotic system dedicated
to the measurement of prompt and early time optical emission from GRBs. The
system began routine operations from its Steward Observatory site atop Kitt
Peak in April 2000 and currently operates every clear night. The telescope is
instrumented with an optical CCD camera and a four position filter wheel. It is
capable of observing Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) error boxes as early or
earlier than the Swift UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT). Super-LOTIS complements the
UVOT observations by providing early R- and I-band imaging. We also use the
suite of Steward Observatory telescopes including the 1.6-m Kuiper, the 2.3-m
Bok, the 6.5-m MMT, and the 8.4-m Large Binocular Telescope to perform
follow-up optical and near infrared observations of GRB afterglows. These
follow-up observations have traditionally required human intervention but we
are currently working to automate the 1.6-m Kuiper telescope to minimize its
response time.
