I have had blank robots.txt files for a while now, simply because my logs get super full of 404 not found errors for robots.txt when it doesn't exist. With this, though, I'll just add that extra bit of "confirmation" to make sure all my content gets crawled.
When are you going to stop giving out this 1st grade advice? Why don't you come out and just tell it like it is?
SEO is an art of mass manipulation and crap-link racketeering; and you are constantly shuffling things around to try and negate the barrage of garbage people throw your way.
No one who is worth their spam-based pay checks pays any attention to Matt Cutts.
You need a robots.txt file only if your site includes content that you don't want search engines to index. If you want search engines to index everything in your site, you don't need a robots.txt file (not even an empty one).

Also, make the most of the robots.txt file by adding the sitemap URL in there.
