Could you give a little more detail? For example, are you building a helicopter, airplane, ornithopter, or model Xylocopa virginica?

Yes, please define "fly bot". An image search on google reveals a brain and a contaminated acne, among other things.

My brain might fly, but only in my dreams. And if acnes start to fly, I would be seriously worried...

Here's actually what I was thinking of. Note, it has on-board video for FPV (first person view).

All the OP needs to do is scale it down a bit.

Speaking of scaled down flying bots...

Here's one entirely made on a PCB, so you don;t have to build anything. The PCB contains the microcontroller, accelerometer, gyro, and 4 motor drivers. The little battery hangs underneath;

It's from a long discussion here;

As far as the OP goes I dont think it can be none with just two motors. You would need at least three to make it stable.

Does anyone recall the little insects built with wings. I forget what they used to power the wings but it was not a classical motor or solenoid. Maybe some form of memory wire.
