As said above, Hypes API does not deal with cloning elements.
There is however the Hype Extension.
Which as @h_classen says .
which does clone hype elements.
But be aware Hype still will not be aware of the clone and therefore be outside of it's control/timelines / actions etc..
Any behaviours will need to be added by you using JS.
You will also probably need to use your math to workout placement of the clones...
I think since my original posting of the clone extension others may have added somewhere on the forum other methods of doing this.. Could have sworn @h_classen did something with a flower and petals?
