Systems and methods may use a drone swarm to increase cargo capacity. A drone swarm may include a networked drone system or two or more drones, such as a parent drone and a child drone. A method may include receiving support component balance information captured by an inertial measurement unit on the support component supported by a parent drone, adjusting movement of the parent drone according to a control system using the support component balance information, receiving an indication of a low battery in a drone in the networked drone system, the indication including an identification of a replacement drone to replace the drone with the low battery in the networked drone system, and sending a reconfiguration command to at least one child drone to incorporate the replacement drone in the networked drone system.
