a low tech solution would be to have the pressure of the wheels (or  maybe a slight feeler) against the surface it's rolling be what keeps the power lead contact connected.  when the wheel drops off ( or the feeler) the power connection is lost to that side, the other sides' motor is still on thus turning the bot the opposite direction of the drop off.
