Paper:
OS= Open Switch- Switch hit to open the arm
CS= Close Switch- Switch hit to close the arm
OL= Open Limit Switch- Switch that stops the opening process once it is hit
CL= Close limit Switch- Switch that stops the closing process once it is hit
MO= Motor Opening- Motor turns on and opens the arm
MC=Motor Closing- Motor turns on and Closes the arm
GO= Gate Open- State of the gate where the arm has reached the open limit switch
GC= Gate Closed- State of the gate where the arm has reached the closing limit switch
CS= Close Switch- Switch hit to close the arm
OL= Open Limit Switch- Switch that stops the opening process once it is hit
CL= Close limit Switch- Switch that stops the closing process once it is hit
MO= Motor Opening- Motor turns on and opens the arm
MC=Motor Closing- Motor turns on and Closes the arm
GO= Gate Open- State of the gate where the arm has reached the open limit switch
GC= Gate Closed- State of the gate where the arm has reached the closing limit switch
The simulation shows a tollbooth arm opening until it reaches the open limit switch and the closing until it reaches its closed limit switch
Open and Close inputs are controlled by a button/switch.

Conclusion:
The schematics make creating the circuit on the board very simple. Reading schematics is definitley easier now and helps construct the circuit. Next time i would consult my teammates more and follow the proper schematics instead of a picture when creating a circuit. A question i would like to know is if there is any limit on the number of states a state machine can have.
