Scientific paper

UNC-Chapel Hill is currently building and organizing both small (half-meter- class) robotic telescopes and large human-controlled telescopes to observe GRBs localized by NASA's Swift spacecraft. We summarize our Swift era plans for the new, robotic 6-0.41-meter (1.0-meter effective diameter) PROMPT telescopes at CTIO in Chile, the new 4.1-meter SOAR telescope also at CTIO, the 8.1-meter Gemini telescopes at CTIO and Mauna Kea in Hawaii, the 9.2-meter (effective diameter) SALT telescope at SAAO in South Africa, HST, and our newest effort, the Skynet Robotic Telescope Net-work, which already spans both South and North America and is growing rapidly.
