I guess I can attempt to answer this one.
I feel that the NEM mentors on the team are really the big picture people. They might not have all of the technical answers, but they're the first people to consult with proposals about fundraising ideas, purchases, and other events. But, our NEM is also extremely interested in why we take a certain route, and although she is a NEM, she is very knowledgeable about the robot itself, and what it does.
The overall attitude towards the NEM is one of playfullness. We have fun, we mock our mentor for getting lost and stuff, but we all understand that when it's time to get serious, we focus and work with the mentor to get things done.
Our attitudes towards the mentors is one of overall respect, but I feel that there is not a bit of difference between how our attitudes towards the different mentors are. We're always looking for fun, and if the mentors are willing to have fun as well, it doesn't matter if it's a EM or a NEM, it's always a party.
