Hi George,
NXT will do this fine, however you might want to try two light sensors (1 more
than in the Retail Kit) Otherwise you might not be able to tell going off line
and a break in the line!
The NXTG language would be fine for this task and im sure your ten year old will
be showing you how it works within 20 minutes... your programming skills would
not help with NXTG (your logic would though!) but there are many freely
available languages you can get hold of for more standard programming languages.
