You could make a big wheel made of lego plates, and put smooth ones on top for
'colors'. Then you could use a touch sensor, and use the difference between the
low spots and the high spots as 1 location.
Do you really need to know the direction that the wheel is going? You know
that for a given motor direction, the wheel will rotate a given way due to the
gears. Use the sensor edge count mode to count both -_- and _-_ edges, and get
2x the resolution (?).

But I'm not sure how to build small round things out of Lego that have 36 divisions (...) (24 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
