I animated one drone in the movement of taking off the cloth as I liked, exported the drone as an mb file and imported the drone with the animation in again. This meant I had two drones wth the same animation on it. I changed the positioning of the x-axis on the recently imported drone and re did some animation of the picking up the cloth and then had two drones with almost identical animations on them.
