The Burst Observer and Optical Transient Exploring System exeriment (BOOTES) is designed to provide a real time observing response to the detection of Gamma Ray bursts (GRBs) using wide field cameras imaging in the I, R and V bands and, later on, deeper imaging with small robotic telescopes. It is part, within the framework of a Spanish-Czech collaboration, of a wide ongoing effort to prepare for ESA's satellite INTEGRAL. We provide a brief technical description of BOOTES. Furthermore, a table listing the results for the BOOTES 1B-Narrow Field Camera (1B-NFC), of near simultaneous observations and others, starting 5 minutes after the events, is given since first light (July 98). Additionally we discuss other scientific objectives (regular monitoring of selected objects like variable stars, nearby galaxies and bright QSOs/AGNs for flaring behaviour) and results. To date we have obtained images for about 30 events with the 1B-NFC. In one of the last searches we detected an optical transient, candidate to be the optical counterpart of the GRB 000313, although such relation has not been established to absolute certainty yet.
