1. A tag and toy vehicle combination comprising:

  • a tag having an exposed outer surface with a predetermined pattern of reflectance, the pattern containing coded information and being formed on the tag by a series of concentric rings, substantially concentric non-reflective portions separated by a series of more highly reflective portions concentric with the non-reflective portions, the substantially non-reflective portions being implemented by a rough textured surface to scatter light and the more highly reflective portions being implemented by a smooth surface to reflect light, such that the pattern can be scanned and read in any direction crossing a center of the rings to obtain the coded information; and

    a toy vehicle including a downward looking reader attached thereto, the reader being configured to irradiate at least a portion of the tag and receive the predetermined pattern reflected therefrom while the toy vehicle passes the reader in any direction across a center of the concentric rings of the tag.
