Chances are it will take some finger strength to get the surgical tubing on without a lubricant. Its what I have been doing for weeks.
Some teams have said they use warm water or rubbing alcohol. For whatever reason we can't get warm water in our building so I haven't been able to try it.
Now that you know, can you explain why the tubing behaves this way?

Thanks Jeffy! We think the tubes were coming off because we tried testing the minibot too soon after we used the rubbing alcohol as a lubricant. Everything is working great now!
