Ok! A quick note about the arrows, is that the 3 of those can be used under any TRANSITION circunstances (since all connect state with state), but you will see if you try, some arrows fit better in the indicated manner.

- Not all TRANS are required to declare an action, the EVENT alone is ok, but if your going to declare both use / to separate < event_name / run_action >
- On STATES you may use the fields: Entry action and Exit action they will trigger respectively on_enter, on_exit
