    141141We propose to set up an imaging air Cherenkov telescope with low-cost
    142 but high performance design for robotic operation. The goal is to
    143 achieve long-term monitoring of bright blazars which will unravel the
    144 origin and nature of their variability (und den zugrunde liegen
    145 Beschleunigungsmachanismen). The telescope design is based on a
    146 technological upgrade of one of the former telescopes of the HEGRA
    147 collaboration still located at the Observatorio Roque de los Muchachos
    148 on the Canarian Island La Palma (Spain).  With the upgrade an
    149 improvement in senitivity by xx\% and a xx\% lower energy threshold
    150 will be achieved.
