The Transient Object Automated Search Telescope is described. This talk will be a progress report on the status of equipment installed and the science that will be conducted at TOAST. The system is currently at the Planetary Science Observatory, near Grand Forks, and ready to be initiated. The 10? telescope is housed in a robotic dome and can/will be used remotely and can be programmed to be in automated mode. The science will be the discovery of transient events and follow-up observations of these transient events. The original purpose was to determine the orbits of newly found asteroids, but has changed to supernovae, novae, gamma-ray bursts, new asteroids and comets.
