I just noticed that the docs for the robot hat now show a “Robot Hat V5” section however the purchase links go to a page that shows “v4” if you zoom in on the screen shots. is the v5 hat actually available for purchase anywhere? I assume this version would fix a lot of power stability issues and enable full support of raspberry pi 5

We are very sorry, Robot Hat V5 is not online yet, please be patient!
Robot Hat V5 is fully compatible with PI5.

Hi, I’m patiently waiting for the V5 robot hat to become available, particularly interested in the four motor control (and other neat features)
Currently own Picarx and pidog; looking to build a custom robot 
Any update on the when the this will be available , ideally a specific date when I can expect to be able to purchase this? (Want avoid having to source elsewhere)
Thanks!

i’m interested in knowing this, the Pi5 complains about only 3A available, and the v5 hat charges the battery faster.
We currently have the PiDog V2 compatible with the Pi 5 available on our official website. Please visit: SunFounder PiDog AI Robot Dog Kit for Raspberry Pi 5/4/3B+/3B/Zero 2W, ChatGPT-4o Enabled with Voice Command & Video Recognition | SunFounder
if the only difference is the servos - is there a link where I can buy the new better servos? I have the v1 pidog but want to upgrade it without having to buy the full kit again
The difference is not just the servo upgrade; the important part is that the Robot Hat hardware has been upgraded. This version of the Robot Hat is compatible with the PI5, while the V1 version of the Robot Hat is not compatible with the PI5.
I bought a v1 pidog just a few months ago and have been adding capacitors and doing a lot hacking to try to get it to work with a pi5 (and i have more power concerns for extra hats that I am adding). if you can provide a purchase link for the new v5 robot hat by itself (or send me one) that would be great.
