/**
 * Combines a controller, feedforward, and observer for controlling a mechanism
 * with full state feedback.
 *
 * For everything in this file, "inputs" and "outputs" are defined from the
 * perspective of the plant. This means U is an input and Y is an output
 * (because you give the plant U (powers) and it gives you back a Y (sensor
 * values). This is the opposite of what they mean from the perspective of the
 * controller (U is an output because that's what goes to the motors and Y is an
 * input because that's what comes back from the sensors).
 *
 * For more on the underlying math, read
 * https://file.tavsys.net/control/controls-engineering-in-frc.pdf.
 *
 * @tparam States Number of states.
 * @tparam Inputs Number of inputs.
