yes you can, there is an optic fiber in RIS box (only version 2.0).
Put one extremity in front of RCX IR port and the other extremity on top of
robot.
This optic fiber transmit the IR light.
But in my opinion the best thing is to use a RCX 1.0 ( you can encase it) with a
such optic fiber.
there is already a discussion on Lugnet about 1.0 and 2.0 sensitivity and 1.0 is
the best for IR.
on my LEGOTIC site you can find (on LEGOTIC Humanoid page) an example to use
optic fiber to allow RCX communicatio:
