Jim DiNunzioVice PresidentI'm a career Software Engineer but discovered a passion for hobby level robotics in 2015. I was inspired by RSSC to learn, tinker, and build my own robots. Its incredible leaders tirelessly put time in to educate members on the many difficult disciplines and detail involved in this craft. Together we form a strong community of like minded enthusiasts who help each other to keep improving our trade. I served as President in 2021 and Vice President for a few years.
