on behalf of a larger collaboration report:

"We have observed the field of GRB 100316C (Stamatikos et al.,
GCN 10491) using the 0.6m Yock-Allen robotic telescope
(BOOTES-3) located in Blenheim, New  Zealand.  Observations
began at  8:58:47 UT (49s from GRB onset and 4 s from the GCN
alert receipt).  We do not detect any  source within the XRT
error circle in a 20 x 2 second combined unfiltered image down
to a 3 sigma limiting magnitude of 18.5."
