HOG drive as RC Kite vector thrust gimbal

Thingiverse user Rasterize wrote in to point out that the Hemispherical Omnidirectional Gimballed drive I designed some time ago has a second life as a vector thrust gimbal for kites.

Ideas like this crack my brain open like a raw egg. I never would have considered it!

…Can you make a dozen of them flocking together?
