Well, I want to hear what others (eg Derek, RobA, Iain, Vitali) have to say, as
they are more important than my opinion...but...

I would take the block count inbound of the two as the greater of the two.

So if Part A gets 5 unique blocks and Part B gets 3, then the total score for
the entrant (eg Dave Koudys) is 5.  This would be the same as if I got a Purple
block from Chris in Opening 1, and another also from Chris in Opening 2.  I
would only count it once.  So I would say, only count them once.

I would also not consider anything passed between the two Parts as a collected
block.  eg, this is not a loophole to guarantee the delivery or reception at
least one.

Now...speaking of conspiracies and collusion, if a team named "Design Team
Sandy" entered in a second robot, well, we'd count her separately.

(...) I think that by leaving this option open many will build one part that goes around and dispense the blocks and the second part which can just stand in one spot and have many transfer openings.
