I'll go with one RCX.

At the beginning of each match a flag is always placed in the centre of the
middle island. Competing bots start in opposing corners of end islands. The
goal of the game is to be the first to raise the flag.

Pulley wheel.

If the object of the game is to be the first to raise the flag, then
"crossing the chasm" is simply a means to an end. I would prefer the game
not curtail any creative solutions with complex scoring and rules.

My opinion on scoring...
Score 1 point for a win (first bot to raise flag) and 0 points for a loss.
If both bots fail to raise the flag (is there going to be a time limit?),
both lose (objective not achieved) and 0 points are awarded.
