received a second light sensor and it seems to me I should be able to
produce a faster robot if it doesn't have to keep one sensor on the line but
can just keep the line in between the two sensors.  If anyone has built a
robot designed to follow a path as quickly as possible I would love hear
about it.

Thanks,

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.
