Abstract: We prove that the group of almost-automorphisms of the infinite rooted regular d-ary tree mathcalTd arises naturally as the Thompson-like group of a so called d-ary cloning system. A similar phenomenon occurs for any R"over-Nekrashevych group Vd(G), for GleAut(mathcalTd) a self-similar group. We use this framework to expand on work of Belk and Matucci, who proved that the R"over group, using the Grigorchuk group for G, is of type Finfty. Namely, we find some natural conditions on subgroups of G to ensure that Vd(G) is of type Finfty, and in particular we prove this for all G in the infinite family of v{S}uni'c groups. We also prove that if G is itself of type Finfty then so is Vd(G), and that every finitely generated virtually free group is self-similar, so in particular every finitely generated virtually free group G yields a type Finfty R"over-Nekrashevych group Vd(G).
