The Andersons (ie Supercar, Fireball, etc. etc.-- the Marionette shows) also did UFO and Space:1999.

two little robots that looked like kitchen tidies with glass domes on top, segmented tentacle-like arms and legs, and big, flat circular feet.

This is actually ringing a loud bell with me, so I did a search for 'comic strip robots' and came across Magnus Robot Fighter https://comicvine.gamespot.com/magnus-robot-fighter/4050-2157/
Any of these look familiar?

I have the complete box set. The excuse was that I got them for my kids.

Just for info, Supercar and Fireball XL5 were both early series by the Andersons who went on to produce Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and others.
