Description
With the increasing number of high-energy detectors and transient surveys our community is increasingly bottle necked with our ability to perform adequate optical and spectral follow-up observations at scale. In this talk I will discuss the robotization of Manua Kea's oldest telescope, UH88. The system we are building may serve as the foundation for further automation in small/medium aperture telescopes. This in turn, will enable collaboration between facilities in constructing an ad-hoc network for wide coverage transient follow-up.
