Individual agent skills, such as kicking and dribbling (running with the ball), are important prerequisites for team collaboration. For each of these skills, many parameters affect the details of the skill execution. For example, in the ball skill of dribbling, there are parameters that affect how quickly the agent runs, how far ahead it kicks the ball, and on which side of its body the agent keeps the ball while it dribbles. The settings for these parameters usually involve a tradeoff, such as speed versus safety or power versus accuracy. It is important to gain an understanding of what exactly these tradeoffs are before "correct" parameter settings can be made.
