Robotics and Calculus?! Oh nos!

Don't be affraid of trying new things... Even if people say you are crazy, even if you get insulted, even if it involves a lot of time and money, try it. You can't know if it'll work or not if you didn't try it yet. - EDesbiens [more]

If you were to do that, it would involve calculating the surface areas, normal forces, coefficeints of friction, weights, and a lot of other stuff for ALL moving parts of your robot. It's not worth the trouble.
Your math problem is just a typical unconstrained optimization question, nothing to get excited about.
