Randomized pipe mesh

Hi all,

I am having a trouble with making a randomized pipe along a curve.

The end result should be array of pipe beads that are in random locations.

The restrictions are:

- There is a range of 0.75" to 0.5" 

- Inconsistent gap between pipes, along the curve, are required, so they don't end up being at the same level to next/previous bead.

- Some of those beads that are hanging at the end of the curve should only have short length remain as if those pierced through something.

The end result should look like this

If you know any helpful commands, please let me know

I have been struggling with this for several days.

Thanks a lot guys!!
