Neato XV-11 getting stuck under a table

While this problem was easily solved using a small strip of the magnetic strip supplied with the robot, it's annoying it gets stuck here so easily. It happens when the laser tower won't go under the table while the rest of the robot will, then when the robot reverses and hits the table leg, the robot rises up on its suspension, jams itself and just keeps reversing until it decides to give up. It then reports "My left wheel is stuck, please free it from debris" error.

Annoyingly it could easily get out of this but the rising-up behaviour has seen it get stuck in a few other locations, it could do with some better intelligence on unsticking. It kicks the daylights out of my Roomba 581 in every way other than this, but to be fair it's the only place it gets stuck in the whole of my house and it was easily fixed. This video is posted for feedback to the Neato people once I email them.
