Line Follower Kit Recommendations

As a project for the summer, my 7yo very much wants to build a "metal robot". We've done a few robotics kits prior, including some VEX. I think "metal" is code for "more mature". I'm thinking a wheeled line follower is a great next step for her, incorporating sensors and a little programming with lots of direct interaction.

Any recommendations for a line follower kit? Criteria are:

  • Quality build
  • Preferably both line following and distance sensors
  • No internet/smartphone specifically required to operate
  • Arduino preferred, ideally able to be programmed by Scratch

I'm looking at something like this, I just don't know the company so I have no sense for the quality or experience: https://www.analogtechnologies.com/document/ZYC0043.pdf
