Search engines use robots.txt to decide if they're *allowed* to index all of your site, it won't improve your ranking if you have one. I don't know where this "if you have a robots.txt file, even with nothing in it, you'll get ranked better" idea came from (you're not the first person I've seen say something like this), but it's false. Don't waste your time with a robots.txt file unless there are particular areas of your site that you DON'T want search engines to index.
Spend more of your time building a site-map, making your html search engine friendly, and most importantly, make the site "useful". If your site has value to its users, google's ranking will reflect that.
