Here we will present the Folded Low Order whYte-pupil Double-dispersed Spectrograph (FLOYDS), a low dispersion robotic spectrograph being built at Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope (LCOGT) Network for deployment at the Faulkes Telescopes. FLOYDS will be fully integrated into the LCOGT network, and will thus be able to robotically acquire targets and place them in the slit for science exposures. The principal scientific goals of FLOYDS include supernova classification and analysis, along with long duration spectroscopic monitoring of other variable sources, such as active galactic nuclei. We will discuss the design and operation expectations of FLOYDS, along with a progress report on its construction in the lab. In the era of large time domain surveys, robotic spectroscopy will play a critical role.
