SRLM, there shouldn't be a break because we would have rejected it based on lack of functionality. Have you confirmed that there's an open trace? What you should see on a blemished board is a small burn from a soldering iron, somewhere, not a functional problem.
Wow. That's fast! 5 min... Anyway, I've tested for continuity on all the other surrounding holes, and the break appears to be here. Below is a picture:
Let me make sure that I've got the general layout down correct: there are eight 'power bars', four located near the propeller, four far away. They run in pairs, and go halfway across the board left to right.
By the way, this may or may not be a new problem. It may have been that I knocked something loose, or it was received like that. I'm not sure: this is the first time that I've noticed it.
Some bread board busses break the strip in two, have you checked any hole to the left of the black probe with any hole to the right of the red probe? If these show no connection either the the bus is spilt in two, you can make them into a single bus by using a jumper wire.
If Mark's observation is correct then you just have a hole who's clip has been stretched too far, this happens with bread boards, find which hole is the one thats not working and use a sharpie to mark it and don't use it in you wirings.
Yep. It's a clean break between the blocks under 15 and under 20. The 15 holes under and to the left of 15 are continuous, and the 10 holes to the right are continuous. The 25 holes above are continuous. Hmmm... Perhaps I can turn this to my advantage and have a 'mini' 3.3 volt header...

You had me worried so I check the continuity on mine in the same spot and it's ok. Hmm.
