By definition a pusher has nothing to lift with! I think it would be impossible for any pusher to get another robot over even a 5cm wall. In fact I think a 1cm wall would be too much for most pushers.
The only thing a pusher could hope for would be to topple their opponent onto the wall so that it gets stuck by its flipper arm/blade/whatever. This also sounds exremely unlikely.

Killer Sandwhich From Mars pushed both M4.5 and Odyssey over the walls at AWS19 too.

Defiant also pushed Fleabite over.

I am just building a new arena which at the moment has 40% full height walls, 10% 70mm walls (in corners) and 50% drop off. I was considering putting in flaps that in the up position covered the drop off ditches but that could be dropped down remotely in some way to reveal the drop off maybe after a set time. What do people think of this as there is no point in adding it if nobody wants it. Alternately I could fit 4 or 5 tyres as Dave seems to like them.

Putting up some hinged walls is a great idea. About the same I had a while back. I give you a thumb up!

Timed hinged walls sound good. I think we agreed that 50mm walls is a good height a while back. Just a thought...

I had short walls and it was easy to push things over them. 2" was about perfect, the lifters could get ants over fairly easily. Not sure about 3" walls, that may be a bit high.

What is the arena shape? Square, rectangular, octagonal?
