The AMI Large Array robotically triggered on the Swift alert for GRB
161017A (Troja et al., GCN 20064) as part of the 4pisky program, and
subsequent follow up observations were obtained up to 10 days
post-burst. Our observations at 15 GHz on 2016 Oct 18.14, Oct 19.33, Oct
21.30 and Oct 25.31 (UT) do not reveal any radio source at the XRT
location (Beardmore et al., GCN 20067), with 3sigma upper limits of 132
uJy, 84 uJy, 63 uJy and 78 uJy respectively.
We thank the AMI staff for scheduling these observations. The AMI-GRB
database is a log of all GRB follow up observations with the AMI, and is
available at http://4pisky.org/ami-grb/.
