Create randomly rotated disks along a line

Hi I am reasonably new to grasshopper and am trying to create the following artwork of rotated disks.

Can anyone help me with logic and steps to recreate rows or randomly rotated and spaced disks? Ideally, each side of the disk would be either be blue or orange.

Thank you.

maybe this gives you an idea to approach it. It’s not exactly the same though, but had this in my archives:

Welcome @Sweezy,

This is pretty straightforward to achieve:

Thank you so much for your help.
Is there a way to divide each curve randomly? Currently all the disks are in equal uniformed rows. I tired putting a “random” input into the “divide” but it applies the same division across all the curves.

@Sweezy, I’ve added a small GHPython script that manages the random distribution, while keeping the disc count constant:

You can change the distribution with the Seed parameter. FixEnds keeps the first and last disc rows inline, if set to True.

If you are using Rhino 6 you are ready to go, but if you’re still running an older version, you need to install GHPython. You can download it from food4rhino.com!
