    Assuming you are using normal DC motors, the easiest way I can see would need an extra channel to use a servo to swap the polarity of the wires to the motor. This could be done with 2 micro switches. It all depends on the currents drawn though.

    How old is your soldering iron tip, I find they age a lot quicker than solder. Like others I have many reels left over from my father, which I still use with no problem. Is the iron is too hot, it can cause the solder to ball up, as can a contamonated tip, like when someone has used it to melt plastic or burn wood!!!😊
