The Burst Observer and Optical Transient Exploring System (BOOTES) is considered as a part of the preparations for ESA's INTEGRAL satellite, and is currently being developed in Spain, in collaboration with two Czech institutions. It makes use of two sets of wide-field cameras, 240 km apart, and two robotic 0.3-m telescopes. The first observing station (BOOTES-1) is located in Huelva (Spain) and the first light was obtained in July 1998. During the test phase, it has provided rapid follow-up observations with the wide-field cameras for 19 GRBs detected by BATSE aboard CGRO, and narrow-field imaging for 6 bursts. Limiting magnitudes for any GRB optical afterglow are I~13 and R~16.5, a few minutes after the events. .
