Oh man, I would love to do something similar to this with my daughter when she is older... I recently bought a kiddies Arduino kit, I'm hoping that that will help spark some interest!

ev3dev runs on a few other platforms, but it doesn't look like Arduino is supported. However, I believe there are python packages for Arduino, along with the hardware to make the simple kind of robot needed for something like this.
Ha, my daughter isn't up to that level of skill yet (she is only 6!), more that the Arduino board is for playing around and building with circuit boards and bits and pieces! She did manage to solder a little electronic thing when she visited an open lab day... So I think it is the sort of thing that would intrigue her!
A good excuse for me to learn python though...
