Ok, it is super difficult to get info about the MX2020b IC.

It is made by Chinese company sinotech, whose web site http://www.mixic.com.cn/ blocks access from outside China.

There is a 1688 (Chinese ebay thing) page which contains some info here:

LCSC (Chinese reseller) don't stock this part and don't have its data sheet, but they do have some other Mixic parts.

It looks like it's a dual motor driver chip in sop16 package. Maybe not really robust, because MichaelG92 had one fail in his picture.

I know some robot builders have used the MX chips before, they are *really* cheap, open any cheap toy and you probably find some, but they're possibly not nearly as robust as my favourite rz chinese chips.
