The motor is not a Van Door but an early model Window motor. FIRST stopped using this model somewhere before 2005, though I know we had them in '98. Madison is correct that the rest are window drive parts. The plastic belt is sometimes called window tape in auto parts stores. Some versions have wire reinforcement, though I don't think the kit version did. The really impressive thing about the indow tape is not its tensile strength, but its compressive strength. If properly guided it can produce provide a significant force. We used to get the guides with it, you might have one of those running around your shop too without recognizing it.
The motor is of course illegal for this year's robot. If you can find the other parts at an auto parts store they would be legal as COTS devices.
