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

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.

Therefore, ROTSE-II was designed, also featuring a large field of view, but it was never built, since new satellites such as 492: 56: 436: 75: 83: 487: 292: 429: 60: 71: 230: 202: 41: 366: 354: 342: 218: 192: 306: 45: 378: 318: 210: 25: 206: 413: 390: 456: 412:
