You could use a mirror and then flip the one robo on top of the other.
Maybe something like a child's hand mirror or something

I'm currently working on a robot that uses 2 RCXs.  They will obviously need
to communicate with each other, so I need to know the proper way to position
them.  Will it work if I stack them one on top of the other? (The top one
would have to be upside down, of course...)

My other thought was to position them a few inches apart, but with one at a 45
degree angle to the other one.  Would this work?

I don't know if it works with IR like it works with visible light, but you could try to use some fiber optics to interconnect the I/O LEDs of the RCXs.
This way you could put them in *any* position and as far apart as you want.
