We are developing a new slit-less spectrograph for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at Bisei Astronomical Observatory. We can quickly point the 1-m telescope to the GRB coordinates provided by HETE-2 via the GRB Coordinates Network. The pointing is readjusted when the position is refined to 5” accuracy by the small optical telescope RIBOTS using the optical image of the GRB, and we then take an exposure immediately with the slit-less spectrograph.
