Is the tube going up to the housing area as long as it is in the image? If it is, I would try and shorten it or use a corner tube into the unit and the longer tube running at an angle to make going in and out easy. Crittertrail tubes are fine for a robo, but not vertically as they pose a real danger if the robo falls down inside the tube.
It's funny/not funny that you mentioned this. Leia never had any problems climbing up the tube, but going down I noticed that she struggled. Luckily she never fell. I went ahead and removed two of the tube pieces and now she zooms up and down the tube with no issues at all.
