This article studies a system of rods pinned on a lattice with only rotational degrees of freedom, using Monte Carlo simulations. The system shows an infinite number of phase transitions as a function of the inverse temperature and the relative size of the rod with respect to the lattice, that can be broadly characterized as either Ising-like or of geometrical origin.
