Re: scripting question ....

Hair instancing might not be a bad candidate if you've got it. 

Otherwise you could do something like:
-put the grid points to a row/column array
-apply a 3point constraint to the point itself, the point ahead on the 
same row (or behind if you are at the end of a row) and the same row # 
at the column ahead (or behind if you are on an end column).
-then randomize the weight values for the 3point constraint

a better scripting person coulda probably scripted it faster than I 
wrote that but you get the idea...
