Tracking Goal Reflective Tape

In team 3494's so far discussion on designing an Offensive robot, we've determined that the most reliable way to score other than the "slam dunk" method is by using a camera to track the reflective tape targets on the goals. I have no experience programming this, how feasible is it to program a tracking method with Labview as a fairly new (1 year exp) programmer? I have'nt been able to look at the available prebuilt software, but is there any that would make this a good dependable design option? Also, is it easier to track, program, and test tracking the lines with the Kinect as opposed to the Axis camera? Thanks in advance for any help!
