History

Beginning in 1838, Rovdane was administratively a part of the municipality of Herøy (see formannskapsdistrikt law). However, this changed on 1 January 1867 when Herøy was divided into two and the western part became Sande Municipality, which included the areas on both sides of the Rovdefjorden. In 1905, the new municipality of Rovde was separated from Sande, with Rovdane as the administrative centre of Rovde Municipality. On 1 January 1964, the district of Rovdestranda (south of the fjord), where Rovdane is located, was transferred to Vanylven Municipality whereas the rest of Rovde was reunited with Sande Municipality. Rovdestranda had 436 inhabitants at that time.[2]

gollark: I'm not clear exactly what everyone is doing, but:- Ojas and someone are doing mechanical/hardware design, which is general to basically all the challenges- me and Aidan are doing cameras and sensors, which generalizes to most of them- actually I have no idea if anyone else is doing anything
gollark: Only because lots of people are effectively just ignoring the team divisions.

gollark: What?
gollark: Good news! It turns out that the MPU6050 *does* have drivers which are compatible with the DMP thing and will actually run on the Pi! Unfortunately they are poorly documented C++!
