Since Codrone Edu cannot identify the color of a mat without touching the mat, does this mean that the drone has to land on mat 2, then take off again and then landed on the final pad/square ?

1999: Color mat 2 identification in autonomous flying
Answered by committee
There are no rules prohibiting the drone from landing and taking off again during the autonomous flight mission. You are correct that the CoDrone EDU needs to land on the mat to detect color, therefore you would land on the mat, then take off again to land on the correct landing location.
Points for landing are only earned if all steps in <AM8> are completed.
