Shannon Kyra Liannanon give us the basic outline and i'll think about it Basic Outline: In the future of 2122, technology has evolved far more quickly than anyone has ever predicted. Life is pretty nice, no wars, the economy is great, and there hasn't been a war in over 100 years. However, all of that changes when a young man named Akira goes through a junkyard, looking for parts for his dad. Upon his search, he discovers what looked like a giant hand sticking out the ground. He dug it out, and saw it connected to an arm, then to a body, then he saw the head of the robot. It seemed smaller than the others that were built today. It was only about 2-3 stories high. He called his father as they quickly pulled it out of the junkyard, and started to research it and repair it. To their surprise, this robot was one of the first model robots ever created! It had a very unique ability to combine and share power with other robots. After this find, Akira's father decides to give it to Akira, because he's the one that found it. Upon naming it, he names the robot Pluto, because just like the planet Pluto, its smaller than the other planets in the solar system.

that isn't what i usually write about, so i am unable to help you very much. sorry.
-why does Akira's dad need parts?
-Why is the robot in the junkyard? is it malfunctioning? disobedient to its original creator?
-why was Akira sent? why wasn't it his dad?
-what happens if the government finds out?
just a few questions that popped into my mind

Nice outline.. so far
though I don't think, I'd be much help
either as I'm evil/good and would make
your ideal in to a huge mystery, and just messed up...
best of luck and here are a few more
thoughts for back ground intel...
-What brought about the worlds peace?-
-What do the other robots do? (Ie why are they there?)-
-Are all humans equal in health/pay/smarts-
-Are there any other beings also around/on earth if so, what do they do, if not why not?-
-Is the planet all green and balanced out or like it is now?-

Only two/three stories tall and that's small? eek Sounds more like you're dealing with mechas, not robots. Modern day robots tend to be human scale, manufacturing tools (though those are more like fancy RC deals), chatbots, and itty-bitty insect bots. Should be a fun idea to play with.
Anyhow, when plotting out a long story of any kind, you need to have explanations for just about everything. You can get away with 'magic does it/it's science!' to some extent, but relying on that excuse weakens a story. And any detail has potential for use in plot or character development.
Some major things to think about:
What is your major conflict? The fact that the world has been at peace does not excuse a lack of conflict. Is there a tyrannical government, a mad scientist, a mafia, or anything like that around? Is there a tournament of some kind involving these robots? And how important is that event? Or is the conflict on a smaller scale?
What is the purpose of having these giant robots around? They must be common if the father decides to just give it to Akira (if they were rare, he might rather sell it). Having no wars cuts out a major part of the purpose of a mecha; they're normally a mixture of weapon of mass destruction, massive armor, and super vehicle. And a machine that big will most likely take a huge amount of resources to run and operate.
Also, Pluto's no longer considered a planet.
