The kids have placed a “button” on their robot. The idea is to press the “button” each time they place it on the starting tile to start the next “mission” on the programming challenge. Is this allowed, or do they have to select the mission by pressing the robot brain each time?

Yes, that is allowed.
A world of advice: make sure the team has a plan in place in case the robot must be “stopped”, and the program restarted mid-run.
