just program your robot to turn the opposite way as the sensor that goes off
the line. i made a line tracker with one light sensor that had treads instead
of wheels. when it got off the line, it started roving back and forth (more
and more each time) until it found it again. this didn't work great because it
had a tendency to go in one direction and not sweep back the other way enough.
