ROTSE is a network of 4 robotic 0.45m optical telescopes designed to look for early optical emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by rapidly responding to automated Internet alerts. It has a typical response of ˜8s from the generation of the trigger and, with the Swift satellite's realtime alerts, ROTSE's speed allows it to explore a unique time window of GRB behavior. In the case of GRB 050319, ROTSE began observations at 27s following the initial rise of gamma-ray emission, 13s after the end of the gamma-ray burst, and one minute before the Swift satellite completed its automatic repositioning to begin its optical observations. We detected a fading transient, confirmed to be the GRB counterpart. We present our early lightcurve of the GRB 050319 afterglow.
