We've never seen two robins at the same time in our garden.

We've got three pairs sharing our plot which is about 320ft long by 120ft
wide, with a hedge border and a copse beyond.
They have clearly defined territories, with one pair regularly coming to the
kitchen windowsill for tidbits.
The male in the "copse-end" pair is very distinctive because he is mottled
white. (Melanistic?)
We have seen three together on occasions - probably offspring rather than
pairs mingling.
