Let G be a simple algebraic group. Labelled trivalent graphs called webs can be
used to product invariants in tensor products of minuscule representations. For each web,
we construct a configuration space of points in the affine Grassmannian. Via the geometric
Satake correspondence, we relate these configuration spaces to the invariant vectors coming
from webs. In the case G = SL(3), non-elliptic webs yield a basis for the invariant spaces.
The non-elliptic condition, which is equivalent to the condition that the dual diskoid of
the web is CAT(0), is explained by the fact that affine buildings are CAT(0).
